Weather Manipulation

[Boomer Chick]

This thread covers the topic of weather manipulation in all of its manifestations, implementations, history, and ongoing research globally and nationally.

In attempting to understand the connected science, we must all attempt to understand its basics and thus be able to discuss and converse regarding the nature of the science itself.

Attention scientists and buffs!!!

Here's a good start to refresh your scientific memory and introduce you to HAARP related science terms:

http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/glos.html

Wading through this page and reading every entry will prime your mind for the adventures to come.

One aspect of the glossary that jumps out at me relates to the strong presence of the sun or solar science and energies in connection with experimentation and functioning of the HAARP arrays. I had no idea the sun would be so integral to HAARP research and science. I find the related links older than expected and if any of you have time, newer HAARP links would be appreciated.

Here's a fairly new one updated in 2003:

If any of you find information and research data that you can simply relay to the readers and give a clear understanding of the research from the graphs and data..... please do. I must admit I'm floundering in the abundance of information of which I cannot interpret according to my own science background.

I checked this one out.
It seems there are plenty of holes in the technique dreamed up by UCLA, and such stuff that might seem doable has major problems as controlled lab conditions turn into the "pie-in-the-sky" of the real world.

Like I've said before, idea-men are a dime-a-dozen, to get things done isn't nearly as easy.

[foot_soldier]

The bottom line is that we are running into problems which are generally agreed-upon as being serious enough at this point to merit equally serious consideration of solutions that are for the most part unprecedented.

Reynolds refuses to acknowledge that the problems even exist. Reynolds believes that stratospheric ozone depletion is a hoax and that emerging anthropogenic climate change concerns are motivated by some malignant leftist agenda, the goal of which is endless and punitive regulation and total social control.

It's no wonder he thinks proposals for mitigation of these problems are "pie in the sky." He doesn't acknowledge the existence of the problems in the first place and in fact consistently seeks to discredit those who do.

Weather Warfare: The Invisible U.S. Military Offensives in Weather Weaponry

by Keith Harmon Snow

July, 2002

To gain further insight into the mental illness of our leaders, and the
irresponsible, catastrophic direction in which they have thrust us, consider
the ongoing research, development and applications of weather warfare
technologies. Adherents of weather warfare prefer to call it ³environmental
modification techniques² * or ENMOD. The corporate media has reported almost
nothing about these aerospace and defense programs, or the technologies
involved. Thus do I open the discussion of the ENMOD arena by deconstructing
recent news stories.

First note that the Internet abounds with conspiracy theories of all stripes
about weather warfare, environmental modification and climatic mayhem.
Numerous postings declare the climate instabilities we are already seeing to
be the work of the antichrist or the New World Order * indeed in some cases
they are one and the same -- and some of these web sites describe people
legitimately concerned and vocal about climatic change as the agents of a
³left-wing conspiracy² with a ³communist agenda² ever hostile to ³free
enterprise.²

Buried beneath the volumes of imaginative but wholly fictitious conspiracies
that gain wide circulation however, are the many legitimate secret programs
orchestrated behind the darkness and denial of the military-industrial
complex. Call these conspiracies if you like. This story * weather as a
weapon * is certainly not one of them and, depending on how you look at it,
this is certainly one of them.

The Fog Watch (Propaganda):[1]

Throughout April, 2002, Amherst College (MA) radio (WAMH) ran a series of
public service announcements (PSAs) sponsored by a Christian church
organization declaring the existence of weather modification technologies,
and advocating that listeners contact the U.S. government to demand that
these technologies be deployed to moderate the extreme weather and drought
we are seeing. According to these PSAs, the government use of these existing
technologies to mitigate hostile weather is a fundamental right of every
U.S. citizen.[2]

On February 17, 2002, ABC News ran a very brief ³news² clip titled ³Weather
As A Weapon?² The inquisitive title infers that this is some not-yet-certain
possibility, contributing to the delusional beliefs that weather warfare
might be something we * the public * ought to at least be thinking about,
and possibly debating. ABC would never have run the story without some
greater purpose than simply ³to keep the public informed² -- the expected
role of the democratic free press that ABC purports to be part of.[3]

The article describes the advantages of weather modification: seeding
clouds, creating rain or tornadoes over hostiles forces, burning through fog
to expose enemy aircraft:

Consider what might happen on some battlefield of the future where the U.S.
military could gain a tactical advantage by changing the weather. There are
several ways they might try to do that. One way would be to create rain that
turns battlefields into mud baths in order to immobilize enemy troops and
enemies. Another is by triggering lightning storms over airfields to keep
hostile aircraft on the ground. Yet another possibility would be to burn
through a heavy fog by firing lasers to give U.S. fighter pilots a better
view of enemy targets. An Air Force research paper called ³Owning the
Weather in 2025² predicts that weather modification could reshape
battlefields. [4]

Weather warfare, of course, is set in some amorphous future battlespace.
There is ABC¹s first deception. ABC draws attention to the Air Force
document Owning the Weather in 2025. This is an unclassified document,
accessible to the public, and it suggests that ENMOD research and
development is all mere theory and speculation.

Owning the Weather in 2025 appears on its face to reveal significant details
about the nature of U.S. national security and defense capabilities.
However, in the age of international terrorism, with the U.S. military and
its multinational corporations and their media minions whipping up a frenzy
about terrorists of all stripes, anthrax scares and world trade massacres --
and with rapid information access and exchange making such reports available
to hoards of uncivilized information-seeking barbarians feared by the
Pentagon -- we can be sure that this document shows us only what we are
intended to see.

Owning the Weather in 2025 serves the greater purpose of exposing only what
is efficacious to the military, to the intelligence apparatus, to the
companies they are in league with, and to the compromised policymakers
seeking public support * by any means -- for the military programs they are
paid to peddle. That is ABC¹s second deception: steering interested readers
toward an inversion of reality, a public relations document, officially
sanctioned, released and posted by the military. ABC does not question the
origins of this document, or why it has suddenly come into vogue.

ABC confirms that weather warfare is, at the very least, under development:
the article closes noting that substantial ongoing investments in research
and development have continued.

In the U.S. and in many other countries, the private sector continues to
work on weather modification technology ‹ work that could also be used on
the battlefield. And as this research continues on, for example, cloud
seeding techniques that produce heavy rain to help farmers in time of
drought or laser technology that could clear heavy fog for passenger jets,
the military is watching.[5]

To say that the military is ³watching² is to lie outright. There is ABC¹s
third deception: as I will imminently show, the military has funded and
sponsored these weather warfare technologies for over fifty years. ABC¹s
fourth deception is the suggestion that the private sector and the
government defense sector are independent, that one does not wash the hand,
or wipe the ass, of the other. Nothing could be further from the truth.



The fifth deception by ABC News is the suggestion that these life and earth
destroying technologies * pursued with a scientific hubris that is psychotic
and obscene -- will also serve peaceful uses. Indeed, given the industrial
acceleration of climatic mayhem we can be sure that the public will be
clamoring for these weather modification technologies. The further
suggestion is that their military adaptability is an afterthought, rather
than their raison d¹etre. That is ABC¹s sixth deception.



Naturally, weather modification tools will revive gardens of sunflowers and
fields of wheat stricken by drought, and they will guide passenger jets full
of innocent people (!) to safety. By implication, these weather modification
technologies are essential to human survival, they will never be used
unjustly, they are as benign as atoms for peace. Such arguments about the
ENMOD arena will increasingly proliferate with great media fanfare, serving
the intended purpose of manipulating the public mind, as information about
ENMOD technologies is slowly and strategically transitioned out of the
(classified) closet.



Indeed, the public has paid hundreds of millions of dollars, at least -- and
it is most likely billions -- to develop these technologies * a fact that
ABC does not share -- so we might as well see them put to good use. Hiding
the proliferation of public subsidies for weather warfare is ABC¹s seventh
deception.



The main purpose of the ABC article * and the WAMH public service
announcement * is to introduce a new subject heretofore forbidden by the
military and, its extension, the corporate media. These articles signal the
beginnings of a propaganda campaign to habituate citizens to a happy,
un-dissenting coexistence with weather warfare technology. That is ABC¹s
eighth deception.

continued.......

[whitemajikman]

The deeper purpose of the ABC ³news² clip * the ninth deception -- is to
garner support from U.S. citizens to withdraw from * to denounce, evade or
trample on * an international treaty prohibiting environmental warfare,
signed by the U.S. in the 1970¹s.



Thus does the bold and colorful subtitle, and the paragraph that follows,
elucidate the central theme of the ABC article: ³AGREEMENT BARS WEATHER
MANIPULATION.²



But there is a problem turning theory into fact. Using weather as a weapon
is a clear violation of international agreements. In 1977, the United
Nations passed, and the U.S. signed, a resolution that prohibits changing
the weather for hostile purposes on the grounds that too many civilians
could be harmed. So the U.S. military, which once seeded clouds in Vietnam
to produce heavy rains along the Ho Chi Minh trail, can now only concentrate
on better weather forecasting. ³We want to anticipate and exploit the
weather, not modify it,² says U.S. Air Force Director of Weather Brig. Gen.
Fred Lewis.

There is no problem turning fact into propaganda: some ENMOD technologies
have been tested and, as reported elsewhere, used in battle already. It has
been reported for example that weather warfare technologies cleared the
skies to enable NATO carpet-bombing of Serbia * causing unprecedented,
widespread, long-lasting droughts.[6] So there is ABC¹s tenth deception. In
contradistinction to the suggestions by ABC News, we are not talking about
merely seeding a few clouds. Here are the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth
deceptions: ABC News hides the scale, magnitude and lethal capabilities of
ENMOD weaponry.



The United States is party to an arms control treaty known as the
³Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Other Hostile Use of
Environmental Modification Techniques² (ENMOD Treaty), ratified in 1980.[7]
We do not know why the U.S. signed this treaty in 1977, but we can be at
least 95 % certain that the Nixon/Ford administrations did not do so out of
concern that ³too many civilians could be harmed.² There is ABC¹s fourteenth
deception.



In the wake of the 1970s¹ U.S. Senate Select Intelligence Committee hearings
on covert actions, the broad spectrum of political assassinations, coups,
secret operations and technology developments deemed essential to the
national security apparatus were driven underground in highly classified
programs.[8] Just as the assassinations, coups and covert operations never
stopped, the programs to develop weather warfare continued. Undoubtedly, the
U.S. signed the 1977 ENMOD Treaty for cosmetic purposes only.



ABC quotes Air Force Director of Weather Brig. Gen. Fred Lewis, and choosing
this person as the sole authority allowed to speak on the U.S. military¹s
weather warfare capabilities is ABC¹s fifteenth deception. Brigadier
Generals are credible enough, and he utters some truth, and ABC does not
question this truth.



³We want to anticipate and exploit the weather, not modify it,² says U.S.
Air Force Director of Weather Brig. Gen. Fred Lewis.



It is a curious statement, in the context it is in, because it is defensive
at its core. It is a direct lie. Significant evidence suggests that
somewhere in the national security apparatus * DOD, DOE, NSA, CIA, DIA, FBI,
or deeper * there are ongoing, intensive programs in ENMOD technology.
Indeed, the highly invisible U.S. National Reconnaissance Office * which
feeds the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency --
might be the culprit: the NRO plans, builds and operates America¹s spy
satellites, and they specialize in intelligence-gathering and information
warfare.



As I will show, the entire subject of weather warfare revolves around
³plausible deniability² and the capacity of elite decision makers to
³plausibly deny² that such technologies exist (just as assassinations were
not committed, coups not fomented, massacres not perpetrated). Because proof
of secret operations is highly classified, hence invisible, the unverifiable
accusations are answered with plausible denials.



The statement by Brig. General Fred Lewis is contradicted, in its most
simple form, by the obvious fact that all branches of the U.S. military and
security apparatus rely on sophisticated SIGINT (signal intelligence),
COMINT (communications intelligence), C4I (command, control, communication,
computing and intelligence) and EW (electronic warfare) technologies whose
entire mission and purpose can be, and often has been, compromised,
neutralized or entirely defeated by weather conditions in the battlespace
environment.[9]



The statement is further contradicted by the obvious military thrusts to
develop capabilities that maximize stealth and, simultaneously, minimize
risk to U.S. troops, and the propensity, again well documented, to use
clandestine operations premised, again, on ³plausible denial.² In light of
these major policy and field objectives, the existence of an entire spectrum
or portfolio of ENMOD technologies is both plausible and certain. Said
differently, it is irrational, and unlikely, and naïve, and unreasonable to
suppose the absence of these technologies.



Owning the Weather in 2025, advertised by ABC News, confirms the offensive
interests the U.S. Air Force has in ³owning and controlling² the weather
through warfare. (Projected ENMOD capabilities are delineated in Table 1.)
Numerous citations and references reveal that military analysts and
scientists have been working on weather modification issues in some
capacities.

Owning The Weather in 2025 is but one chapter of the much larger report Air
Force 2025, but ABC News did not report on that, nor did they explore the
obvious evidence of the military¹s comprehensive embracement of ENMOD
technologies. That is ABC¹s seventeenth deception.



Air Force 2025 is a significant document. It outlines diverse technologies
and strategies that the Air Force feels it must adopt to prevent the Air
Force from ushering in its own extinction by 2025. The following excerpts
from the Air Force 2025 shed some light on the intentions of the Air Force,
and call into question the credibility of -- ³We want to anticipate and
exploit the weather, not modify it² -- Air Force Director of Weather Brig.
Gen. Fred Lewis:



³2025 is a study designed to comply with a directive from the chief of staff
of the Air Force to examine the concepts, capabilities, and technologies the
United States will require to remain the dominant air and space force in the
future.² [10]



³In 2025, uninhabited aerospace vehicles (UAV) are routinely used for
weather modification operations¾ Prior to the attack, which is coordinated
with forecasted weather conditions, the UAVs begin cloud generation and
seeding operations. UAVs disperse a cirrus shield to deny enemy visual and
infrared surveillance.²



It [weather modification] would also include specific intervention tools and
technologies, some of which already exist and others which must be
developed. Some of these proposed tools are described in the following
chapter titled Concept of Operations. The total weather-modification process
would be a real-time loop of continuous, appropriate, measured
interventions, and feedback capable of producing desired weather behavior.



If precipitation enhancement techniques are successfully developed and the
right natural conditions also exist, we must also be able to disperse carbon
dust into the desired location¾ Numerous dispersal techniques have already
been studied, but the most convenient, safe, and cost-effective method
discussed is the use of afterburner-type jet engines to generate carbon
particles while flying through the targeted air. If this UAV technology were
combined with stealth and carbon dust technologies, the result could be a
UAV aircraft invisible to radar while en route to the targeted area, which
could spontaneously create carbon dust in any location.



Recent army research lab experiments have demonstrated the feasibility of
generating fog.[11]



It is important to note that many techniques to modify the upper atmosphere
have been successfully demonstrated experimentally. Ground-based
modification techniques employed by the [Former Soviet Union] include
vertical HF heating, oblique HF heating, microwave heating, and
magnetospheric modification. Significant military applications of such
operations include low frequency (LF) communication production, HF ducted
communications, and creation of an artificial ionosphere. Moreover,
developing countries also recognize the benefit of ionospheric modification:
³in the early 1980's, Brazil conducted an experiment to modify the
ionosphere by chemical injection.²



Air Force 2025 is, in theory, a roadmap to the future. It closes with a
passionate and glowingly patriotic section outlining the coming extinction
of the Air Force, and, indeed, the entire United States itself, if critical
technologies, environments, personnel and capabilities outlined in Air Force
2025 are not exploited absolutely.



Of course, without any further qualification or investigation by ABC News,
and fed by ABC only the simplest of ideas to ensure that they are digested
by the public, the casual reader is unable to separate the truth from the
lie. ABC¹s eighteenth deception comes in allowing the lie to pass. Neither
does ABC News balance the newly enshrined truth with any alternative views,
or counter quotes, or dissenting opinions -- as if dissenters and their
rationales did not exist at all. ABC has not reported on the proliferation
of, or the dissenting scientific views on, or the risks of, these
technologies * military or civilian. That is ABC News¹ nineteenth
deception.

continued.......

[whitemajikman]

The ABC News ³news² clip -- sympathetic to a military establishment
ostensibly plagued by budget cuts and federal oversights and shackled by
international legal treaties -- helps further the misinformation that the
military, ³which once seeded clouds in Vietnam to produce heavy rains along
the Ho Chi Minh Trail, can now only concentrate on better weather
forecasting.² There is ABC¹s twentieth deception * the unfortunate U.S.
military, its hands tied, ³can now only concentrate on better weather
forecasting.² Here we find a common media ploy: to help generate sympathy
for a military and intelligence apparatus ostensibly shackled by its own
government and people * in sharp contradistinction to egregious, brutal,
comprehensive U.S. military force and power wielded with secrecy and
impunity around the globe, with a budget that is obscene.

For their twenty-first deception, ABC News has casually introduced the idea
that, well, by the way, weather warfare has been used before, in
Vietnam.[12] However, this is unappreciated, primarily because it has been
little reported * if reported at all -- by the corporate U.S. media. The
CIA, FBI and other ³national security² institutions regularly utilize this
same propaganda ruse to deflect attention from secret operations, torture
and state-legitimized terrorism. The method is simple: begin circulating
previously unreported facts to lay the groundwork for public acceptance, and
then, if challenged, shrug the information off as ³old news² that is ³common
public knowledge.² In any event -- we are always assured -- the institution
in question (CIA) has long since reformed.[13]





Weather Warfare Realities:



As early as the late 1940¹s Dr. Wilhelm Reich was developing weather
modification techniques at his Orgonon Research Center in Rangeley, Maine.
Reich was sharing his work with the U.S. Department of Defense, unaware that
he was being targeted as a subversive for his pioneering futuristic work in
numerous fields, weather included. (The U.S. Food and Drug Administration
imprisoned Reich in 1954 for a minor interstate transportation infraction
committed by an employee: Reich died in federal prison in 1957.)



By 1952 the White House had a special adviser on weather modification. In
1957 the President¹s advisory committee on weather control explicitly
recognized the military potential of weather modification, warning in their
report that it could become a more important weapon that the atom bomb.[14]



In 1968, Professor Gordon J.F. McDonald, a member of President Lyndon

Johnson¹s Science Advisory Committee, elaborated in great detail on the
state-of-the-knowledge weather modification technologies in a book chapter
called ³How To Wreck the Environment.²



³The key to geophysical warfare,² McDonald wrote, ³is the identification of
the environmental instabilities to which the addition of a small amount of
energy would release vastly greater amounts of energy.² [15]



McDonald describes large field programs on weather modification, and he
elaborates on the scientific knowledge and the capacity for the military to
hide ENMOD operations behind environmental chaos. This raises questions
about whether the military has facilitated climatic mayhem * no matter the
active or passive means -- to provide a permanent shield behind which to
secretly operate. (Blocking and stalling on climate treaties is one such
means.)



McDonald bemoans the potential to mask offensive ENMOD operations under
nature¹s irregularities, where an ³operation could be concealed by the
statistical irregularity of the atmosphere¾ A nation possessing superior
technology in environmental manipulation could damage an adversary without
revealing its intent.² [16]



McDonald¹s detailed discussions of manipulating Antarctica¹s ice sheets
raise questions about the possible military / scientific role in promoting
the recent substantial Antarctic ice shelf fractures and the unprecedented
shattering of icebergs, heretofore scientifically unknown.[17] One could
imagine that Very Low Frequency (VLF) waves propagated by submarines or
other high-energy transmitters might be responsible. The U.S. Navy is
certainly capable of irresponsible high-energy submarine testing: the U.S.
Navy recently confirmed, for example, that high-energy, low-frequency sonar
experiments have killed humpback whales.[18]



Another possibility is that downscaled thermonuclear devices have been
tested in remote ice core experiments in Antarctica: McDonald addresses this
potential scenario. Curiously, the military, since the World Trade center
attacks, has stepped up its public relations campaign focused on the
supposed necessity of detonating small-scale thermonuclear devices. It is
not unlikely that high-energy and directed-energy weapons -- nuclear or
otherwise * are being sporadically tested beyond public or institutional
oversight. Indeed, as we will see below, it appears that high-energy weapons
have already been developed and tested under the High-frequency Active Aural
Research Program (HAARP).

[whitemajikman]

World renowned scientist Dr. Rosalie Bertell today confirms that ³US
military scientists ... are working on weather systems as a potential
weapon. The methods include the enhancing of storms and the diverting of
vapor-rivers in the Earth's atmosphere to produce targeted droughts or
floods.² [19] As noted in Air Force 2025, ³recent army research lab
experiments have demonstrated the feasibility of generating fog.[20]
Similarly, research has been conducted in precipitation modification for
decades.[21]



Former French military officer Marc Filterman outlines several types of
contemporary ³unconventional weapons² using radio frequencies. He refers to
³weather war,² indicating that the U.S. and the Soviet Union had already
³mastered the know-how needed to unleash sudden climate changes (hurricanes,
drought) in the early 1980s.² These technologies make it ³possible to
trigger atmospheric disturbances by using Extremely Low Frequency (ELF)
radar [waves].² [22]



In Benign Weather Modification, published March 1997, Air Force Major Barry
B. Coble superficially documents the existence of weather modification
science * here is the curious phenomenon of unclassified revelations once
again -- and he traces the developments that have occurred, notably, in the
hands of the Pentagon and CIA¹s staunchest ideological enemies:



³The first scientifically controlled and monitored effort generally
recognized by the meteorological community as constituting weather
modification occurred in 1948,² he writes, ³when Dr. Irving Langmuir first
experimented with artificially seeding clouds in order to produce rain. His
experiments showed positive results, sparking tremendous interest in the
field nearly overnight.[23]

Many countries throughout the world practice weather modification. The
Russians have long been interested in using weather modification as a way to
control hail.[24] The Chinese recognize the value of weather modification
and believe, incorrectly, that the US military continues to use weather as a
weapon.[25]

However, there is little available evidence showing active efforts by other
countries to use weather modification for military use. The US military,
especially the Air Force, is considered the preeminent world leader in
technology and its applications in the battle space. Since the late 1970s,
the Air Force has ³backed away² from pursuing weather modification
technology even though the scientific understanding and the technological
capability have evolved, albeit slowly, over time. It is a well-known fact
that weather affects the battle space, contributing to the ³fog of war.² New
developments in the field of weather modification may help eliminate some of
this "fog" and turn weather into a force multiplier.[26]

Are we to believe that the U.S. national security apparatus ceased all
weather modification research even as the ever hostile and encircling
communist RED enemies pursued this research emphatically? Apparently so:
Coble elaborates on the absence of any U.S. military role in weather
modification developments.



DOD funding for weather modification research peaked at $2.8 million in
1977. Funding was eliminated in 1979. Since then there has been no active
research effort into weather modification by DOD. The Air Force spends no
money on research, and there is no effort to monitor civilian research,
applications and advancements. The Army's program, ³Owning the Weather for
the Battlefield,² deals only with incorporating weather information into the
digitized battlefield of the future. Efforts to modify the weather for
battle are not being pursued.[27]



After this rather auspicious paragraph denying any U.S.A.F. or U.S. DOD
interest or involvement in ENMOD technologies, Coble goes on and eventually
identifies existing ³benign weather modification² technologies under
development. He specifically notes at one point that government research in
benign weather modification, which in the beginning he adamantly denied,
continues:

continued.......

[whitemajikman]

Each of these weather modification types has commercial applications, and
several companies exist to practice these types of Benign Weather
Modification. US government-sponsored BWM research, however, is on the
decline. Annual government funding (both state and federal) peaked in FY77
at $19 million. In 1992 the funding level fell to $5 million.[28]



What are we to make of these contradictory statements? Plausible denial? The
author earlier emphatically rejected all military development of ENMOD
technologies whatsoever. This rejection came in the statements: ³Since
[1979] there has been no active research effort into weather modification by
DOD;² and ³The Air Force spends no money on research, and there is no effort
to monitor civilian research, applications and advancements.² The author has
led us through a maze of contradictions. There is ongoing development, it is
outlined to some extent in this unclassified report, and in 1992 the annual
government funding level fell to $5 million! Naturally, as we are always
reminded by the military, the funding is on the decline.



What kind of funding occurred from 1979 to 1992? What kind of funding
occurred, and occurs now, under the darkest and most secretive ³black²
programs of the U.S. national security apparatus? E-Systems is one of the
biggest intelligence contractors in the world -- doing work for the CIA,
defense intelligence organizations and others -- and $1.8 billion of their
annual sales are to these organizations, with $800 million for black
projects -- projects so secret that even the United States Congress isn't
told how the money is being spent.[29]



Another curious but oblique potential admission of the existence of these
ENMOD weapons technologies can be found in Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff Instruction. In this 1998 Air Force document delineating the
chain-of-command policies on ³Meteorological and Oceanographic Operations,²
the Air Force states:



³The United States occasionally receives requests for assistance with
weather modification operations in foreign nations, some of which are
proposed initially to U.S. military commands or agencies located in those
nations. In the event foreign nations or international organizations request
assistance with weather modifications, they should be informed to forward
their request through diplomatic channels to the Department of State. No
encouragement or commitment should be indicated by the receiving military
organization.² [30]



Are the governments or intelligence networks of other countries informed
about U.S. ENMOD capabilities? (Given that the United States has installed
many third world governments, with U.S. military trained personnel, it is
highly likely.) What has brought these requests about? Is there anything
suspect about a statement that declares: ³No encouragement or commitment
should be indicated¾?² Is it merely anecdotal that the Department of Defense
is providing guidance as recent as 1998 on what to do if countries request
U.S. assistance on weather modification operations?



As I will try to show below, the military directive above is designed to
help maintain the highest levels of security around ENMOD capabilities *
a.k.a. devastating weather weaponry -- which are very real, and, it would
seem, available for select allied deployments or missions as determined at
the highest levels of the U.S. State Department.

Stealth, Deception and Death:

Unmanned Aerospace & Aerial Vehicles (UAVs):



We can begin our assessment of the state of ENMOD technologies by narrowly
addressing just one area related to ENMOD technology deployments: Unmanned
Aerospace Vehicles and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Later I will
transition to a discussion of other ENMOD and weather weapons, and to the
evidence for their existence.



Unmanned Aerospace Vehicle and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) research,
development and applications are a billions of dollars industry. Consider
that early in 2002, U.S. Secretary of War Donald Rumsfeld added over $1
billion to the fiscal 2003 defense budget request to develop certain
promising Unmanned Aerospace Vehicle (UAV) programs. (This UAV development
is slated to occur with complete transparency: thus these appropriations do
not account for secret programs and decades of previous UAV research and
developments, or for current and future ongoing UAV development, under
top-secret black programs.)



Unmanned Aerospace Vehicle developments appear to have had their genesis in
the V-1 and V-2 rocket programs of NAZI-American war machine.[31] Further
refined interests appear to have spun out of the 1950¹s CIA development of a
lightweight STOL (short-takeoff-and-landing) aircraft, the human-piloted
Helio Courier. Developed by a contractor in Norwood, Massachusetts, the
Helio Courier was first utilized by Christian missionaries and other CIA
front groups furthering secretive and genocidal Rockefeller interests (Chase
Manhattan & Standard Oil) in Latin America in 1959. This remarkable CIA/NSA
³asset² was kept secret for three decades.[32]



Today, visible in the unclassified arena alone, there are small fleets of
UAVs of varying capacities already in service. The U.S. military has over
200 UAVs of all types today. Others are under development. Consider that all
branches of the military currently deploy UAVs with sophisticated SIGINT,
COMINT, C4I, EW and ADP (Air-Delivered Payloads) capabilities.[33]. The U.S.
Army Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (TUAV) and the U.S. Air Force Global
Hawk and Predator UAVs saw significant operational deployment in the war on
Afghanistan, and they are part of a major array of weapons-bearing UAV-type
systems slated to deploy various payloads sporting weather warfare
technologies.[34] Predator was also deployed over Bosnia.[35]



Not coincidentally, UAVs are amongst the platforms consistently used to
deploy and test some of the ongoing weather sensors and weapons pursued in
unclassified technology research and development programs geared toward the
Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). Virtually all of these programs, on
their face, are described as weather analysis, data collection and research,
and, to be fair, those applications certainly exist. However, it is
disingenuous to dismiss the military applications, given the funding sources
and the many aerospace and defense programs already using these technologies
in one way or another. Indeed, this area revolves around highly lethal and
offensive military capabilities.



The Microwave Remote Sensing Laboratory (MIRSL) at the University of
Massachusetts has for seventeen years pioneered the research and development
of sophisticated sensors, radars, receivers, transmitters, antennas and
systems for weather investigation, and ultimately, to enable weather
modification and control. Virtually all of the technologies were developed
under funding by the military industrial complex.[36] (Until the late
1980¹s, at least, classified research occurred at UMass.) MIRSL personnel
regularly staff flights and tests deploying weather monitoring (clouds,
ocean waves, hurricanes, atmospheric) and measuring equipment.



The MIRSL expertise focuses on microwave and millimeter wave technologies
for RADAR, communications and EW applications. These MIRSL enabled
technologies are also deployed for EW, SIGINT, COMMINT, and C4I
capabilities. These technologies have seen direct applications, in repeated
tests and experiments, and they are the technologies of current choice in
use in the armed forces, and of future choice for an array of offensive
capabilities identified in the unclassified Air Force 2025 document.

[whitemajikman]

Granting agencies to UMass in the recent past have included: NASA; Office of
Naval Research; Department of Energy; National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration; Department of Agriculture; Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency. Working with the UMass MIRSL scientists on these programs
are also: General Electric, Ball Brothers, Digital Equipment,
Hewlett-Packard, Hughes, Quadrant Engineering, Lockheed-Martin, Sun
Microsystems and United Technologies. Massachusetts¹s contractors involved
at various levels include Raytheon, Kollmorgen, Millitech and Yankee
Environmental Systems.[37]



Danaher Corporation -- the parent company of Kollmorgen -- is a major
contractor, with over 30 subsidiaries, involved in significant aerospace,
defense and SDI, programs. Danaher director Alan G. Spoon is President of
the Washington Post.[38]



The UMass MIRSL research is aligned with the U.S. Department of Defense
Atmospheric Radiation Measurement-Unmanned Aerospace Vehicle (ARM-UAV)
Program * another program euphemistically dedicated to ³atmospheric
measuring and monitoring.² The ARM-UAV program was made visible in the
mid-1990¹s (we cannot verify when it actually began) with millions of
dollars in funding from the DOD Strategic Environment Research and
Development Program (SERDP). SERDP continues to fund UAV and satellite
platform technology developments for the AMR-UAV program of the U.S.
Department of Energy. The U.S. DOE in turn has funded the University of
Massachusetts MIRSL program.[39] Further ENMOD related research and
development has been sponsored through NASA (ERAST) programs.[40]





StrikeStar:



The obvious extension of benign weather modification UAV developments is to
expand UAV use to include lethal missions. Indeed, by 2025 * were we
inclined to suppose that it has not already been achieved in its full or
partial capability today -- the Air Force intends to deploy the StrikeStar
UAVs. The StrikeStar is ³a stealthy UAV that will be able to loiter over an
area of operations for 24 hours at a range of 3,700 miles from launch base
while carrying a payload of all-weather, precision weapons capable of
various effects.²[41]



However, as described below, StrikeStar¹s predecessors are numerous and
sophisticated, and they are also engineered for lethal missions. These are
very real, existing UAV ³drones² and their coming dominance was secured
through ³Star Wars² media films that massaged and prepared the public mind
to accept and tolerate such lethal and unnecessary futuristic weaponry.



The Tier II, medium altitude endurance (MAE) UAV, also called Predator, is
manufactured by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems and costs about $3.2
million per aircraft. The Predator first deployed to Bosnia in 1994 and has
since returned there with two combat-related losses.



A higher performance vehicle is the Teledyne Ryan Aeronautical Conventional
High Altitude Endurance (CHAE) UAV. Referred to as the Tier II+, or Global
Hawk, it is designed to fulfill a post-Desert Storm requirement Tier II+ is
scheduled to fly in late 1997 and meet a price requirement of $10 million
per unit.



The low observable high altitude endurance (LOHAE) UAV (Tier III- or
DarkStar) is the final member of the¾ family of endurance UAVs. Manufactured
by Lockheed-Martin/Boeing, DarkStar is designed to image well protected,
high-value targets with either SAR [synthetic aperture radar] or EO
[electro-optical] sensors. This UAV is designed to meet a $10 million per
aircraft unit flyaway price.



StrikeStar will give the war fighter a weapon with the capability to linger
for 24 hours over a battlespace 3,700 miles away, and, in a precise manner,
destroy or cause other desired effects over that space at will. Bomb damage
assessment will occur nearly instantaneously and restrike will occur as
quickly as the decision to strike can be made. StrikeStar will allow
continuous coverage of the desired battlespace with a variety of precision
weapons of various effects that can result in "air occupation"-the ability
of aerospacepower to continuously control the environment of the area into
which it is projected.



StrikeStar's utility in the performing any future missions would be limited
only by its combat payload capacity and this limitation will be offset by
revolutions in weapons technology that include light-weight, high-explosive,
and directed-energy technologies.



Not only could a StrikeStar hold the enemy at risk, it could produce
unparalleled psychological effects through shock and surprise. In the words
of Gen Ronald Fogleman, Chief of Staff, United States Air Force, "So, from
the sky in the aerospace medium, we will be able to converge on a multitude
of targets. The impact will be the classic way you win battles-with shock
and surprise."

continued..........

[whitemajikman]

A StrikeStar could produce physical and psychological shock by dominating
the fourth dimension -- time. Future CINCs could control the combat tempo at
every level. Imagine the potential effect on enemies who will be unable to
predict where the next blow will fall and may be powerless to defend against
it.



A final task, well suited to a StrikeStar, would be covert action against
trans-national threats located in politically denied territory or in
situations were plausible deniability is imperative. Because of a
StrikeStar's endurance, altitude, and stealth characteristics, it could
wait, undetected, over a specific area and eliminate targets upon receiving
intelligence cues. If required for plausible deniability, specialized
weapons could be used to erase any US fingerprint. Uniquely suited to a
StrikeStar would be delivery of high-kinetic-energy penetrating weapons.
[42]



Recalling that we have greatly narrowed the scope of our assessment into the
military interests of ENMOD developments to focus on UAV capabilities, we
now have evidence that these technologies will be used for covert action
missions where specialized weapons could be used to erase any US fingerprint
to insure plausible deniability.



Air Force 2025 has an entire chapter dedicated to secretive Special
Operations Forces and covert operations. (Recall that these operations are
accountable to no one; they perpetuate terror as a means of social control;
they are amongst America¹s most egregious examples of instruments of state
power hostile to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.[43]) While
impossible to verify, most likely UAVs carrying ENMOD technologies in
various states of development have already been deployed on covert
operations.



These drones have multiple secret, lethal and ³benign² operational
capabilities. UAV purchase costs alone, ignoring the monstrously high but
incalculable research and development costs paid by U.S. taxpayers, range
from $1 million to $20 million per unit.[44]



Many of these UAVs *will carry radars, passive and active antennas,
electro-optical (EO) devices and systems, phased array systems, and
sophisticated weather data banks, all fundamentally enabled through the
intellectual resources, and the computational, theoretical and applied
research programs of the University of Massachusetts MIRSL laboratories.[45]
Numerous other major aerospaceborne weapons and intelligence platforms also
utilize technologies enabled by MIRSL students and scientists.



Most of these UAV configurations will deploy some level of active and lethal
ENMOD capabilities. As revealed above, payloads will also include ³directed
energy weapons.² As we will see below, these are another means by which
environmental warfare can and will be waged.



It is important here to pause and recall that military strategists and
leadership, in their reports and their direct quotes * as previously
delineated above * have emphatically denied the existence and military
interest in even the most ³benign weather modification² (BWM) technologies.
That is the point of departure from which to assess the monumental scale and
complexity of the weather warfare deceptions.



To reiterate, the UAV section above offers one fraction of insight into the
nature of the secret ENMOD developments under pursuit by the national
security apparatus. What follows is further evidence from the most widely
publicized case on record.

Angels Don¹t Play This HARPP [46]



Between August and September 1958, the US Navy exploded three fission type
nuclear bombs 480 km above the South Atlantic Ocean, in the part of the
lower Van Allen Belt, closest to the earth's surface. In addition, two
hydrogen bombs were detonated 160 km over Johnston Island in the Pacific.
The military called this ³the biggest scientific experiment ever
undertaken.²



Designed by the US Department of Defense and the US Atomic Energy
Commission, and code named ³Project Argus,² this gigantic experiment created
new (inner) magnetic radiation belts encompassing almost the whole earth,
and injected sufficient electrons and other energetic particles into the
ionosphere to cause worldwide effects. The electrons traveled back and forth
along magnetic force lines, causing an artificial ³aurora² when striking the
atmosphere near the North Pole.[47]



These pioneering experiments were the first of many * some of which are
ongoing today.



Ø Project Argus (1958)

Ø Project Starfish (1962)

Ø SPS: Solar Power Satellite Project (1968)

Ø Project Popeye (1960¹s and 1970¹s)

Ø Saturn V Rocket (1975)

Ø SPS Military Implications (1978)

Ø Orbit Maneuvering System (1981)

Ø Innovative Shuttle Experiments (1985 to present)

Ø Mighty Oaks (1986)

Ø Desert Storm (1991)

Ø High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, HAARP (1993 to present)

Ø Poker Flat Rocket Launch (1968 to present)



Their details are readily available. Perhaps the most comprehensively
documented however is the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program *
HAARP * investigated in detail and documented in the book Angels Don¹t Play
This HAARP. This huge experiment being conducted in Alaska uses very large
arrays of transmitters and receivers to generate energy beamed into the
upper atmosphere. (The research will be briefly summarized here.) According
to authors Nick Begich and Jeane Manning:



HAARP will zap the upper atmosphere with a focused and steerable
electromagnetic beam. It is an advanced model of an `ionospheric heater.¹
(The ionosphere is the electrically charged sphere surrounding Earth's upper
atmosphere. It ranges between about 40 to 600 miles above Earth's surface.)



Angels Don't Play This HAARP cites an expert who says the military studied
both lasers and chemicals that they figured could damage the ozone layer
over an enemy. Looking at ways to cause earthquakes, as well as to detect
them, was part of the project named Prime Argus, decades ago. The money for
that came from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA, now
under the acronym ARPA.)

continued.......

[whitemajikman]

In 1994 the Air Force revealed its Spacecast 2020 master plan, which
includes weather control. Scientists have experimented with weather control
since the 1940's, but Spacecast 2020 noted that ³using environmental
modification techniques to destroy, damage or injure another state are
prohibited.² Having said that, the Air Force claimed that advances in
technology ³compels a reexamination of this sensitive and potentially risky
topic.² [48]



According to Dr. Rosalie Bertell, the U.S. Military¹s first target under the
HAARP program is the electrojet: a river of electricity that flows thousands
of miles through the sky and down into the polar icecap. The electrojet will
become a vibrating artificial antenna for sending electromagnetic radiation
raining down on the earth. The U.S. military can then ³X-ray² the earth and
talk to submarines.[49]



No surprise, by the way, aerospace systems are some of the most disruptive
agents leading to global climatic mayhem. Says Bertell:



³During the 1980's, rocket launches globally numbered about 500 to 600 a
year, peaking at 1500 in 1989. There were many more during the Gulf War. The
Shuttle is the largest of the solid fuel rockets, with twin 45-meter
boosters. All solid fuel rockets release large amounts of hydrochloric acid
in their exhaust, each Shuttle flight injecting about 75 tons of ozone
destroying chlorine into the stratosphere. Those launched since 1992 inject
even more ozone-destroying chlorine, about 187 tons, into the stratosphere
(which contains the ozone layer).[50]



In researching Angels Don¹t Play This HAARP, the authors discovered numerous
patents associated with the HAARP program for nuclear weapons, atmospheric
disturbances and, of course, weather (ENMOD) weaponry. Many of these were
originally controlled by ARCO Power Technologies Incorporated (APTI), a
subsidiary of Atlantic Richfield Company, one of the biggest oil companies
in the world. APTI was the contractor that built the HAARP facility. ARCO
sold this subsidiary, the patents and the second phase construction contract
to E-Systems in June 1994.[51]



Raytheon, one of the largest defense contractors in the world, bought out
E-Systems. Raytheon has thousands of patents, some of which will be valuable
to HAARP. Twelve patents [comprise] the backbone of the HAARP project, and
are now buried among the thousands of others held in the name of Raytheon.



Bernard J. Eastlund's U.S. Patent # 4,686,605, "Method and Apparatus for
Altering a Region in the Earth's Atmosphere, Ionosphere, and/or
Magnetosphere" was sealed for a year under a government Secrecy Order. The
Eastlund ionospheric heater was different: the radio frequency (RF)
radiation was concentrated and focused to a point in the ionosphere. This
difference throws an unprecedented amount of energy into the ionosphere.
This huge difference could lift and change the ionosphere in the ways
necessary to create futuristic effects described in the patent.



What would this technology be worth to ARCO, the owner of the patents? They
could make enormous profits by beaming [wireless] electrical power from a
powerhouse in the gas fields to the consumer. For a time, HAARP researchers
could not prove that this was one of the intended uses for HAARP. In April,
1995, however, Begich found other patents, connected with a ³key personnel²
list for APTI. Some of these new APTI patents were indeed a wireless system
for sending electrical power.

[whitemajikman]

Again, it is no surprise to find significant evidence that the military has
directly pursued the ENMOD research and weather weapons capabilities
discussed with trepidation by national science adviser Gordon J.F. McDonald
(cited above) who, as early as 1968, articulated the dynamics of energy
perturbations, thresholds and instabilities.[52]



The patent said: ³Thus, this invention provides the ability to put
unprecedented amounts of power in the Earth's atmosphere at strategic
locations and to maintain the power injection level, particularly if random
pulsing is employed, in a manner far more precise and better controlled than
heretofore accomplished by the prior art, particularly by detonation of
nuclear devices of various yields at various altitudes...²



³Weather modification is possible by, for example, altering upper atmosphere
wind patterns by constructing one or more plumes of atmospheric particles
which will act as a lens or focusing device. ... molecular modifications of
the atmosphere can take place so that positive environmental effects can be
achieved. Besides actually changing the molecular composition of an
atmospheric region, a particular molecule or molecules can be chosen for
increased presence.



The military has had about twenty years to work on weather warfare methods.
The U.S. Department of Defense sampled lightning and hurricane manipulation
studies in Project Skyfire and Project Stormfury. And they looked at some
complicated technologies that would give big effects.



The HAARP project is the test run for a super-powerful radio wave beaming
technology that lifts areas of the ionosphere by focusing a beam and heating
those areas. Electromagnetic waves then bounce back onto Earth and penetrate
everything-living and dead. HAARP publicity gives the impression that this
is mainly an academic project with the goal of changing the ionosphere to
improve communications for our own good. However, other US military
documents put it more clearly: HAARP aims to learn how to exploit the
ionosphere for Department of Defense purposes. Communicating with submarines
is only one of those purposes.[53]



In light of the conclusive evidence of weather warfare capabilities outlined
above it is instructive to revisit the recent statements by USAF Major Barry
B. Coble and USAF Director of Weather Brig. General Fred Lewis that were
previously cited herein:



We want to anticipate and exploit the weather, not modify it. (Lewis)

continued..........

[whitemajikman]

DOD funding for weather modification research peaked at $2.8 million in
1977. Funding was eliminated in 1979. Since then there has been no active
research effort into weather modification by DOD. The Air Force spends no
money on research, and there is no effort to monitor civilian research,
applications and advancements. The Army's program, ³Owning the Weather for
the Battlefield,² deals only with incorporating weather information into the
digitized battlefield of the future. Efforts to modify the weather for
battle are not being pursued. (Coble)





The Revolving Doors of Secrecy and Denial



It is interesting to note the extended connections between so-called
³civilian² university research programs, their graduates, and the
institutions of secrecy where ENMOD and weather warfare technologies are
most likely * or certainly -- under development. Noted above were the many
HAARP related interests of Raytheon Corporation. Another major defense
contractor involved in the prime contracts for space-based weapons and the
Strategic Defense Initiative is Lockheed Martin Corporation. One more
company of note is SAIC -- Science Applications International Corporation *
the original developer of Department of Defense information technologies
that, amongst other developments, spawned the Internet.



Raytheon Corporation and General Electric Aerospace have both had major
collaborative programs with the University of Massachusetts Department of
Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). In the 1980¹s both corporations
hired and then funded UMass ECE graduate students who went on to work for
them. The GE/ UMass Microwave Master¹s Engineering Program was one such
collaboration.



Raytheon Corporation currently employs numerous former ECE and MIRSL
(Microwave Remote Sensing Laboratory) Master¹s and Ph.D.s degree graduate
students.



A company called Prosensing Inc., (Amherst, MA), was created by a Ph.D.
graduate of the MIRSL programs; other MIRSL graduates retain all key
Prosensing management and research positions. Prosensing recently (circa
2001) merged with another local company called Quadrant Engineering.
University of Massachusetts MIRSL Professors Calvin T. Swift and Robert E.
Macintosh founded Quadrant Engineering in 1981.[54] Quadrant and Prosensing
work with numerous Department of Defense contractors, including the Office
of Naval Research (ONR); Air Force Research Lab at Hanscom AFB (MA); NASA
and NOAH.



At least one Ph. D. candidate currently enrolled in the MIRSL programs has a
NATO Secret security clearance.[55] Access to some University of
Massachusetts buildings * including the building housings the offices of
professors * requires card keys. Several graduate students now work with
Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Labs * also involved in highly
classified space and defense programs. At least one MIRSL Ph. D. graduate is
now employed by SAIC * one of the most secretive institutions of the
National Security apparatus.



SAIC has ongoing collaborations with Bechtel * another of the world¹s most
secretive aerospace technology, energy infrastructure and defense
contractors, and one with ties to the intelligence community at the highest
and deepest levels.[56] SAIC works closely with DARPA * Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency -- the granting agency behind HAARP and many other
secretive advanced research and development programs.[57] SAIC directors
include: U.S. Navy Admiral B.R. Inman (ret.); U.S. Army General W.A. Downing
(ret.); and U.S. Air Force General J.A. Welch (ret.).[58] SAIC also has an
ongoing collaboration with the multibillion doallr pharmaceutical giant
Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS). Unsurprisingly, through shared directorships,
BMS is economically and politically aligned with the New York Times
Corporation. Last SAIC has long been entrenched with oil, gas and nuclear
interests.



No surprise either, SAIC provides major support for the core of the U.S.
intelligence apparatus * the National Reconnaissance Office * and SAIC has
invested heavily in advanced Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. To remind readers,
the NRO feeds the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security
Agency (orders of magnitude more critical than the CIA): the NRO builds and
operates America¹s spy satellites, and they specialize in
intelligence-gathering and information warfare.



The Vigilante Vertical Takeoff and Landing UAV was first developed and later
refined under SAIC¹s internal R&D program. SAIC recently received a Navy
contract to deliver a reengineered version of Vigilante and fly it in a
tactical demonstration. Clearly delineating the expected uses of these UAVs
in their Annual Report * always for the betterment of the civilized world
--- SAIC notes that Vigilante applications ³could include border
surveillance, oil pipeline monitoring, and special operations missions.² (No
doubt these special operations missions will further secure American
military superiority at the expense of the world¹s innocent, poor -- and
already disenfranchised * people.)



When SAIC says that they ³lead a multi-contractor team that provides
performance analysis of future systems architectures² we can be sure that
these ³future systems² include highly secretive ³black² programs buried in
the belly of the beast. Amongst these, no doubt, are weather warfare
technologies and expertise.



Our space experts also analyze programs and alternatives in conjunction with
the National Security Space Architect, Air Force Space Command, and National
Reconnaissance Office. Our engineers are developing and integrating systems
to collect and process information, and to enable correlation and
coordinated communication of battle conditions. For the Air Force Space and
Missile Systems Center, we provide planning, systems engineering, and
integration for advanced space development and warfighter exploitation¾
Today¹s environment and infrastructure challenges demand the ability to
understand, integrate, and optimize natural processes and human systems.
[59]

[whitemajikman]

Again, it would be naïve, irresponsible and absurd to assume that the U.S.
defense-intelligence apparatus is pursuing such lethal and comprehensive
weapons technologies, but ignoring ENMOD research and development that might
deny U.S. forces optimal conditions of give ³the enemy² some military
(environmental) advantage. How does a military force ³optimize natural
processes?²



Through MIRSL, ECE and other alumni, the University of Massachusetts retains
significant, meaningful and contemporary ties with defense and intelligence
institutions, and through these ties the faculty gains critical feedback to
enable them to further hone and focus their research activities in
accordance with major military objectives and trends. (This is standard
operating procedure.)



As university researchers learn what technologies corporations, agencies and
institutions need, they develop programs aimed at providing the basic
support research, and at developing the necessary intellectual and human
capital. This is how such research programs * and the academics involved --
insure their proliferation and success.



Thus are university grants written with a thorough understanding of the
military and intelligence needs. Funds are subsequently provided.
Intellectual and human resources are developed, and then transferred to the
funding institutions. The cycle is then complete.



It is clear, then, that University of Massachusetts researchers are using
the cover of civilian atmospheric research and geophysical monitoring to
support the U.S. Department of Defense * Department of Offense would more
aptly summarize the agenda -- objectives from the most basic and fundamental
levels to the highest echelons of classified research and development.



Weather warfare or ENMOD technologies are clearly under development. Some
have already been deployed and tested. However, to drive the point home one
last time, were we to assume that military spokespeople were sincere and
honest * an assumption clearly disproved at this point -- we could merely
note the plethora of studies and documents further clarifying the military¹s
active pursuit of ENMOD capabilities. I will provide a brief list, by no
means exhaustive.



Please note the dates and sponsors of these publications. Last, please
consider the likelihood that significant ENMOD research and development
occurs under the cover of friendly client regimes in other countries (e.g.
Brazil): hence the preservation of highly classified top-secret material as
indicated below.

The Falsification of Consciousness



The extent of the subterfuge we as American citizens face from our
leadership, and our media institutions, can be mildy gleamed from the above.
Unfortunately, this is but the tip of the weather warfare and environmental
modification iceberg. The material in this report is readily available to
the general (world) public. Given that an individual outside the classified
sectors of government can so easily access this information, we can take
this as a powerful testament to the vast assortment of information, research
and development that must exist, and retain classification, within the
defense and intelligence arena.



Much of the general public remains apathetic, disinterested, and confused by
the climate skeptics and the huge propaganda machine. The debate centers on
whether there is clear scientific rationale to address climate change. The
disparity between public perceptions and military realities is monumental.
The current public debate around climate protocols and greenhouse gas
emissions only serves to facilitate greater military adventurism, at the
expense of American citizens, at the expense of democracy, to the greater
devastation of earth and all its life forms.



Thus do we draw the following conclusions from the limited research provided
above:



1. The general public remains confused by climate skeptics.

2. The scientific community is mostly engaged in a narrow debate about
climate change.

3. The spectrums of problems of climatic mayhem are greatly
unappreciated.

4. Where these problems are appreciated, proponents argue narrowly about
fossil fuels and climate protocols that, conveniently, distract and deflect
attention from greater issues of secrecy, military dominance and
environmental chaos.

5. Military and ³civilian² ENMOD capabilities are already being tested,
and quite likely have already been deployed to affect human loss of life and
environmental instability.

6. The U.S. government position vacillates between admissions that
limited development of ENMOD technologies has occurred in the private
sector, and that ENMOD technologies do not exist at all.

7. Scientists, soldiers and government officials have lied outright, and
many continue to intentionally obfuscate and misinform on climate issues and
weather warfare.

8. There is a trillion dollar industry behind the monied interests, and
the propaganda, of fossil fuels, weather warfare, military and climate
issues.

9. The military-industrial complex has no intentions of mitigating
climatic mayhem.

10. ENMOD and weather weaponry relies on widespread environmental
instability to provide a threshold of ³background² chaos to shield its
covert ENMOD operations.

11. The United States of America has violated the 1977 Convention on the
Prohibition of Military or Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification
Techniques, (ENMOD Treaty), of which it is a long-standing signatory
member.

12. The United Nations has demonstrated its lack of attention and
investigation into climate issues and the violations of international
treaties (as above).

13. The military ENMOD programs and their goals are predicated on
widespread devastation, environmental calamity, and loss of life in the
so-called ³developing² world.

14. Gross environmental instabilities are appearing more frequently, with
greater force and violence, virtually everywhere at once.

15. Intentional depopulation of various, and large, groups and ethnicities
by various other groups and ethnicities is occurring, and will increasingly
occur, given the current momentum and direction of American
military-corporate power.

16. The United States of America has violated the Convention on the
Prevention and Punishment of Genocide, approved by the General Assembly of
the United Nations in Resolution 260 A (III) of 9 December 1948, to which it
is a signatory member.

17. The United States is responsible for war crimes and genocide in
numerous instances.

18. The United Nations has not served the oversight purposes for which it
was ostensibly created, and instead serves the purposes for which it was
actually created: to insure the prosperity and military objectives of
powerful entrenched interests.

19. Rich and poor countries alike will increasingly suffer as accelerated
processes of environmental change are aggravated by unforeseen feedback
mechanisms.

20. The radical shift to an alternate state or states of climate, most
probably undesirable and unmanageable, has become an increasingly likely
event, and it is increasingly likely that such an event will occur sooner
rather than later. ~ end.

ENMOD CHRONOLOGY


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PRELUDE

1967: The United States begins a top secret rainmaking operation in Southeast Asia to hamper the movement of North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops and supplies. It runs until July 1972. During the Vietnam war, the U.S. also carries out massive herbicide spraying operations (Agent Orange, etc.) and mechanical vegetation removal with ÒRome PlowÓ tractors.

March 1971: Citing a leaked US government memorandum, a US news report reveals indications of a super secret US rainmaking operation over Laos.

June 1972: Meeting in Stockholm, the UN Conference on the Human Environment adopts Recommendation 218, asking governments to carefully evaluate the likelihood and magnitude of climatic change.

July 1972: Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird testifies to the US Congress that the US has never engaged in environmental modification activity over North Vietnam.

1972-74: US Congress "doves", led by Senator Claiborne Pell, press the Defense Department for release of information about alleged secret US weather modification programs in Southeast Asia.

11 July 1973: The US Senate adopts a resolution (S.71) urging an international agreement prohibiting environmental warfare. S.71 includes a draft treaty with the commitment "to prohibit and prevent, at any place, any environmental or geophysical modification activity as a weapon of war".

28 January 1974: Acknowledging that his 1972 testimony was false, Laird (by then counsel to President Nixon) privately admits that the US used weather modification in North Vietnam in 1967-68. Contents of the letter are leaked.

20 March 1974: In a top secret Senate hearing, the US military admits to "Operation Popeye", a cloud seeding program in Cambodia, Laos, North and South Vietnam. The Pentagon says Popeye ran from 1966 through 1972. At least 2,600 flights spent over 47,000 units of cloud-seeding materials.

19 May 1974: Pell forces declassification of the transcript of the "Operation Popeye" hearing.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NEGOTIATIONS

3 July 1974: Environmental warfare is on the agenda at a superpower summit in Moscow. The US and USSR issue a Joint Statement on Environmental Warfare pledging to hold discussions to consider the dangers of weather modification.

October 1974: President Ford commits the US to negotiate ENMOD; but instructs US diplomats to limit the treaty to a partial ban.

November 1974: One step ahead of the US, at the 29th Session of UN General Assembly (UNGA). the USSR tables a draft treaty for an international convention prohibiting all hostile environmental modification.

9 December 1974 UNGA adopts Resolution 3264 (XXIX), requesting the Conference of the Committee on Disarmament (CCD) to negotiate a convention as soon as possible. No countries vote against. The US and four others abstain. The General Assembly attaches the Soviet draft text.

December 1974 - August 1975: In secret bilateral talks, the US and USSR negotiate a new draft convention.

July-August 1975: The CCD hears experts on environmental modification; but does not begin to negotiate treaty text.

21 August 1975: The USSR and US simultaneously submit the same draft text of an ENMOD Convention (the "identical texts"). The new text's scope is substantially narrower than the original Soviet proposal and that called for by the US Senate.

11 December 1975: UNGA adopts Resolution 3475 (XXX), requesting the CCD to continue negotiations. Reflecting many countries' dissatisfaction with the identical texts, UNGA instructs the CCD to continue work "bearing in mind existing proposals, suggestions, as well as relevant discussion at the General Assembly."

February-September 1976: The CCD negotiates the ENMOD Convention. At superpower insistence, debate is based on the identical texts. Although it fails to achieve consensus, on September 2, the CCD transmits a draft text to the 31st Session of UNGA.

November: The First Committee debates the draft convention.

3 December 1976: Following a difficult debate, the First Committee approves the draft text, burying alternative proposals for states to assess the treaty text and/or to return it to the CCD for further negotiation.

10 December 1976: UNGA approves ENMOD, requests the Secretary-General to open the Convention for signature at the earliest possible date, and refers the text to States for consideration, signature and ratification.

18 May 1978: ENMOD is opened for signature in Geneva.

5 October 1978: ENMOD enters into force with the deposit of the instrument of ratification of Laos, the twentieth State Party.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

REVIEW CONFERENCES

10 September 1984: The First ENMOD Review Conference begins in Geneva.

February 1992: Iraqi troops set fire to Kuwait's oil infrastructure with devastating environmental consequences.

18 September 1992: The Second ENMOD Review Conference begins in Geneva.

WEATHER WARFARE



by Bob Fitrakis
A United States Air Force document from 1996 projected one future scenario where the American World View became more Global following a major terrorist attack on the US early in the twenty-first century. This event, along with increasing concern for the global environment, was postulated to help produce a consensus that the US should act vigorously to promote stability abroad (Global US World View) despite the frustration of a Dispersed World Power Grid. This was one of six alternative futures put together by the U.S. Air Force's best and brightest and their civilian advisors.

With a goal later described as "Full Spectrum Dominance" by the year 2025, the Air Force backcasted, as opposed to forecasted what "determines the willingness and capability of the US to take the lead in international affairs." This scenario was called "Gulliver's Travails."

This chilling theme was echoed the next year by Zbigniew Brzezinski, former U.S. National Security Advisor, in his book The Grand Chessboard. Brzezinski argues that the key to world power is in Central Asia with its vast oil deposits, but short of a galvanizing attack by foreigners or terrorists on the scale of Pearl Harbor, the U.S. public lacked the imperial will to seize world dominance.

On March 19, 1997, Dr. Arnold A. Barnes, Jr. of John Hopkins University and Senior Scientist at Phillips Laboratory described a key element of Full Spectrum Dominance at the Tecom Test Technology Symposium in his address on "The Army After Next How Will We Test? Weather Modification."

Barnes, a consultant on the Air Force study, calmly outlined the history of the U.S. military’s weather modification programs and what would be needed for future fully-integrated weather modification capabilities. The good doctor referenced the document "Spacecast 2020," later updated in "Weather As A Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025," which noted that "Atmospheric scientists have pursued terrestrial weather modification in earnest since the 1940’s. . . . Space presents us with a new arena, technology provides new opportunities. . . "

While Spacecast 2020 had analyzed "the difficulty, cost and risk of developing a weather control system for military applications" as "extremely high," Barnes offered a different perspective. He saw "opportunities to capitalize on investment militarily [as] Medium/High" while the "Political implications/health hazards [were] Medium/Low."

In Barnes' scenario, there had already been a long history of U.S. military weather modification. During World War II, the U.S. and British military lit fires on runways to disperse fog. The U.S. Air Force History Office points out on its webpage that "for meteorologists, a major consequence of World War II was the development of a world weather network utilizing new equipment and techniques."

The British Royal Air Force and Western scientists engaged in Operation Cumulus between August 4 and 15, 1952, which, according to a August 30, 2001 BBC broadcast, was a rainmaking project that led to 35 flood-related deaths in Devon.

Declassified documents show that in 1953 the British military and their allies were experimenting in increasing rain and snow by artificial means in hopes of "bogging down enemy movement." They were also interested in "increasing the water flow in rivers and streams to hinder or stop enemy crossings."

Weather control

From SourceWatch

Weather control, as well as "weather tampering", is expressly forbidden dating from at least December 10, 1976, when the "United Nations General Assembly Resolution 31/72, TIAS 9614 Convention (http://www.fas.org/nuke/control/enmod/text/environ2.htm) on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques" was adopted.

The Convention was: Signed in Geneva May 18, 1977; Entered into force October 5, 1978; Ratification by U.S. President December 13, 1979; U.S. ratification deposited at New York January 17, 1980.

One examination (http://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1694.cfm) of the Convention calls attention to key phrases and words:

Article I:
"1. Each State Party to this Convention undertakes not to engage in military or any other hostile use of environmental modification techniques having widespread, long-lasting or severe effects as the means of destruction, damage, or injury to any other State Party."
"2. Each State Party to this Convention undertakes not to assist, encourage, or induce any State, group of States, or international organization to engage in activities contrary to the provisions of paragraph 1 of this article."
"This Article of agreement reveals much of the capability of Weather Control techniques. We learn that such Weather Capabilities can produce effects that are:
a. Widespread -- can cover large geographical areas.
b. Long-lasting -- Such weather devastation can last for years.
c. Severe -- "severe damage, destruction, and injury".
Article II:
Weather control, referred to here as "environmental modification techniques", means "any technique for changing -- through the deliberate manipulation of natural processes -- the dynamics, composition, or structure of the earth, including its biota, lithosphere, hydrosphere, or of outer space."
Examples would be:
Manipulation of a natural process could be altering the flow of the Jet Stream.
Controlling the dynamics could, again, include the Jet Stream as well as creating rainstorms, thunder and lightening, and hail.
A change in the "composition or structure of the earth" could refer to earthquakes.
Damage, injury, or destruction of the "biota" of a nation translates to damage, injury, or destruction of "animal and plant life of a particular region considered as a total ecological entity". In other words, these Weather Control capabilities can wipe out an entire ecological system.
Damage, injury, or destruction of the "lithosphere" of a nation refers to "the solid outer layer of the earth" which "lies above the semi-fluid asthenosphere [30-150 miles down] and includes the crust and the solid part of the mantle down to about 75 kilometers (47 miles)." This is the area where earthquakes occur.
Damage, injury, or destruction of the "atmosphere"--including Outer Space--of a nation, or group of nations.

DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY - Weather Warfare
By Timothy W. Maier

Imagine the United States at war with a rich and politically powerful drug cartel in South America. The cartel has purchased hundreds of Russian- and Chinese-built fighter jets that have stopped the U.S. Air Force from attacking the enemy production facility. The enemy launches 10 aircraft to every one from the United States. The all-weather Air Force desperately needs an even playing field. Intelligence agents learn the enemy won't launch planes in thunderstorms, so the United States unleashes its secret weapon - rain.

Sound far out? Not so, according to a top-secret August 1996 Department of Defense study obtained by Insight. The Pentagon's top scientists at the Air War College described the fictional battle above in its two-year study, Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025, overseen by Gen. Ronald R. Fogleman, the U.S. Air Force chief of staff. In the study, scientists claim that within three decades U.S. aerospace forces will be able to control the weather on the battlefield.

Retired Gen. Gordon Sullivan, former U.S. Army chief of staff, wrote in the 30-plus-page study, which recently was ordered declassified by DoD security- and policy-review authorities: "As we leap technology into the 21st century we will be able to see the enemy day or night, in any weather and go after him relentlessly." At the same time, computers will be able to predict weather patterns precisely, compared with the 85 percent accuracy rate for forecasting weather within a 24-hour period that meteorologists now can deliver.

According to plan and using the expected weather technologies, battlefields would be transformed into mud baths by unmanned U.S. stealth aircraft. These would seed clouds with fine black particles of heat-absorbing carbon dust, prompting localized storms and creating a muddy terrain that would affect the enemy's morale and mobility. Lasers would be used to cause lightning, which would be discharged over the enemy's air force and surveillance planes. Other lasers would shoot at banks of fog and clear a flight path to important targets, such as the enemy command post or production facility.

How does the black-carbon dust produce rain? The study compares it to a "black tar roof," which easily absorbs solar energy and radiates heat. When the black carbon is dispersed as dust in the air over a large body of water, the carbon becomes hot and evaporation increases from the water below. As the air heats, the water vapor begins to form clouds. The clouds continue to increase in size until they become too large and heavy to stay suspended and fall as rain.

This technology could have benefited the United States during the initial deployment of troops to Bosnia, where several peace operations had to be aborted due to weather, or in Operation Desert Storm, where poor weather forced more than 100 missions to be aborted, the study says.

Directing the weather is an age-old dream of shamans and sailors and farmers and soldiers alike. In 1839, early American inventors experimented with rain machines, and in 1957 the president's advisory committee on weather control recognized the importance of using weather as a weapon. The report of the Eisenhower-era committee noted that weather control could become a "more important weapon than the atom bomb." In the 1970s, Russia conducted research into modifying the weather by laser technology with the purpose of jamming radio systems. Similar technology could be used to detect cruise missiles, the declassified study states, and that was confirmed in March with indications that a breakthrough had occurred.

It was long said that everyone is interested in the weather but no one does anything about it. But as early as 1966 the United States successfully conducted weather modification in Vietnam. The experiment, known as "Project Popeye," extended the monsoon season and thereby increased the mud on the Ho Chi Minh trail - the main enemy supply route into South Vietnam. To produce the rain, U.S. aircraft dispensed a rain-making agent nicknamed "Olive Oil."

However, controlling the weather is not without its legal and ethical questions. Who is responsible for storm damages or for drought that results from forced precipitation in the target area? Such questions led to the passage of a resolution in 1977 by the U.N. General Assembly, which agreed to prohibit the hostile use of environmental-modification techniques.

Still, the Pentagon study claims the need to control the weather will override previous concerns and, within the next decade, the race to control the weather will resemble the race to the moon. "The combination of drive, motivation and resources will eventually produce the technology," the Pentagon study states. "History also teaches that we cannot afford to be without a weather-modification capability once the technology is developed and used by others. Even if we have no intention of using it, others will."

Picture a South American cartel of the mid-2090s. It maintains hundreds of fighter planes, thwarting attacks by launching a dozen Russian- and Chinese-made aircraft for every one of ours. Our sole advantage comes from a piece of military intelligence: Cartel pilots won�t fly in harsh weather. But this doesn�t mean waiting around for the skies to turn - because by then, thunderstorms will be made to order...

First we launch uninhabited aerospace vehicles (UAVs), which, through advanced cloud-generation technology, disseminate cirrus clouds to block enemy surveillance. Next we seed any one of the daily rain showers passing through the region, intensifying it precisely over the target. Then we snuff out our blinded enemy. [1]



Sound like a sci-fi thriller?

The above excerpt from the recent techno-yuppie cult magazine WIRED is designed to do just that – hence the projection of global insecurity into the distant 2090s and the ubiquitous specter of fear inculcated by reference to hoards of Chinese and Russian warplanes. In reality, however, it’s a waking nightmare: U.S. military offensives in weather warfare have already arrived.



Indeed, they have been here all along.



Adherents of weather warfare prefer to call it “environmental modification� – or ENMOD. The corporate media has reported almost nothing about these aerospace and defense programs, or the technologies involved. Thus do I open the discussion of the ENMOD arena by deconstructing recent “news� stories purportedly offering balanced coverage of an otherwise unreported story.



First note that the Internet abounds with conspiracy theories of all stripes about weather warfare, environmental modification and climatic mayhem. Numerous postings declare the climate instabilities we are already seeing to be the work of the antichrist or the New World Order – indeed in some cases they are one and the same -- and some of these web sites describe people legitimately concerned and vocal about climatic change as the agents of a “left-wing conspiracy� with a “communist agenda� ever “hostile to free enterprise.�



Buried beneath the volumes of imaginative but wholly fictitious conspiracies that gain wide circulation however, are the many legitimate secret programs orchestrated behind the darkness and denial of the military-industrial complex over the past five decades. Call these conspiracies if you like. The heart of this story – weather as a weapon – is certainly not one of them and, depending on how you look at it, this is certainly one of them. No matter the past, there is clearly something happening now.



Back to the future, we can say for certain that anyone who projects hypothetical scenarios as far in to the future as “the mid- 2090s� – as in the above article -- has not the least grasp of reality. The earth’s natural resources are disappearing. We are seeing gross ecological damage and profound industrial and nuclear pollution. Overpopulation in both industrialized and under-developed economies has already exceeded the limits of sustainability. Global climatic mayhem is here, and it is happening now. On top of all this is the permanent state of war perpetuated by multinational corporations and their agents in western governments. That is the point of this writing, it sets out to articulate this insanity, and, simultaneously, to properly situate the insanity of the organizations, corporations, agencies and individuals responsible for perpetuating the old, new global commodities of despair, terrorism and death.

RAF rainmakers 'caused 1952 flood'

Unearthed documents suggest experiment triggered torrent that killed 35 in Devon disaster

Special report: silly season

John Vidal and Helen Weinstein
Thursday August 30, 2001
The Guardian

On August 15, 1952, one of the worst flash floods ever to have occurred in Britain swept through the Devon village of Lynmouth. Thirty five people died as a torrent of 90m tons of water and thousands of tons of rock poured off saturated Exmoor and into the village destroying homes, bridges, shops and hotels.
The disaster was officially termed "the hand of God" but new evidence from previously classified government files suggests that a team of international scientists working with the RAF was experimenting with artificial rainmaking in southern Britain in the same week and could possibly be implicated.

Want to Know What Georges Lakhovsky Was Using in His Cancer Clinics In France in the 1930's?

October 3, 2005

His work was based on a new understanding of the way energy flows through the human body and throughout the universe!
Georges Lakhovsky postulated that each cell works as a micro-cellular oscillator with energy fields resonating with the "twisted filament" (which is like a tiny "oscillator") in the neuclei of living cells. Thus, the cell acts as a transmitter and receiver of radio-electric waves that are energizing and revitalizing. With Tesla's help, he constructed the Multiple Wave Oscillator in the mid-1920s. It received U.S. patent #1,962,565 in 1931. In designing the Multiple Wave Oscillator Lakhovsky's goal was to transmit a full spectrum of harmonics allowing each cell in the body to pick up and resonate with the appropriate frequency. Disharmonic cells that were previously sick would thus be entrained by the correct harmonics ringing them into the normal state so that the body could thus heal itself. With proper resonance the normal mechanisms of detoxification will work properly bringing on more ultimate health.

Lakhovsky died in 1942. The patent expired in 1951 and is now in public domain. Since, MWOs' and similar devices have been used extensively in therapy clinics throughout Europe. Americans continue to "experiment" with MWOs' which have been documented to be of value in treating cancer, arthritis, and other illnesses.

We have involved ourselves in many areas of research over the years and consider this to be one of the most important. We are happy to be able to share the highest quality Multiple Wave Oscillator currently available anywhere. Our Ultimate Multiple Wave Oscillator is the most authentic MWO since Lakhovsky's era with perfectly tuned antennas.

These days everyone wants to build electronics smaller and smaller and replace old engineering with solid state parts which are cheaper and facilitate bulk production. Lakhovsky saw the nucleus of each cell as an oscillator specifically due to the dielectric character of the fibrous chromosomes and their relationship to the other conductive aspects of the cell. The part that some seem to miss is that these cellular oscillations are in resonance, or controlled by, the cosmic rays that Tesla spoke quite a bit about. The continuous bombardment of our 3 dimensional space with cosmic radiation that is very distinctive from conventional hertzian frequency is important to attempt to understand the background of the Multiple Wave Oscillator (MWO). Many conventional attempts at engineering MWO like devices yield questionable results due to fundamental misunderstanding; the MWO acted as an entrainment device to allow the unimpeded flow of cosmic radiation through blocked cell structure where this flow is impeded. The missing resonance with the cosmic radiation due to internal malfunction, such as poor eating habits, smoking, overabundant toxic intake, etc. causes cells to function improperly and NOT a direct result of improper internal energetic regulation mechanisms. Possibly the most important aspect of Lakhovsky's work is the connection of cellular oscillation with the vibratory mechanism of the universe. With this in mind, we can be sure there is never any shortage of energy but rather that the human cellular structure is sure to block the healthy energy flow of the universe in states of overwhelming toxemia.

Tesla and Lakhovsky both were engineering high frequency coil systems with collaboration resulting in the engineering of the MWO. Both of them were engineering devices which emitted very unique oscillations which Tesla called non-Hertzian waves; more recently the term Scalar Wave has been used by Tom Bearden, a prominent figure developing new energy systems. Re-engineering Lakhovsky's MWO without taking this into consideration is bound to come up short.

From WMM Post #22 on Page 3:


.....Much of the general public remains apathetic, disinterested, and confused by the climate skeptics and the huge propaganda machine. The debate centers on whether there is clear scientific rationale to address climate change. The disparity between public perceptions and military realities is monumental. The current public debate around climate protocols and greenhouse gas emissions only serves to facilitate greater military adventurism, at the expense of American citizens, at the expense of democracy, to the greater devastation of earth and all its life forms.....
A great deal, if not most, of the research activity in the upper atmospheric layers is motivated by the need to quantify and predict space weather patterns. This of course makes sense when one realizes that the conduct of warfare is eventually going to be implemented almost exclusively from space-based platforms. In fact this trend is already underway. It will become increasingly important to protect all that warfare-related communications and surveillance hardware from what it is hoped will become increasingly predictable space weather events.

As a consequence, a national goal has been set to produce a physics-based model of the space environment. This model would provide accurate predictions of phenomena and enable technology operators to protect their assets from space weather storms..... (continued)

U.S. Air Force Plans for Future War in Space
http://www.cndyorks.gn.apc.org/yspace/articles/future_war_in_space.htm

The U.S. Air Force has filed a futuristic flight plan, one that spells out need for an armada of space weaponry and technology for the near-term and in years to come.

Called the Transformation Flight Plan, the 176-page document offers a sweeping look at how best to expand America’s military space tool kit.

The use of space is highlighted throughout the report, with the document stating that space superiority combines the following three capabilities: protect space assets, deny adversaries’ access to space, and quickly launch vehicles and operate payloads into space to quickly replace space assets that fail or are damaged/destroyed.

From space global laser engagement, air launched anti-satellite missiles, to space-based radio frequency energy weapons and hypervelocity rod bundles heaved down to Earth from space – the U.S. Air Force flight plan portrays how valued space operations has become for the warfighter and in protecting the nation from chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high explosive attack.....

UN-banned weapon system can trigger hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis
je traduis le titre pour le reste démerdez vous : des armes interdites par l’onu peuvent déclencher des cyclones, des tremblements de terre et des tsunamis.
The UN has banned it. It’s reported to be in the arsenal of several nations, including the U.S. It’s reported to be OPERATIONAL. What are we going to do about this weapon system? And did it play a role in creating Hurricane Katrina or in steering her along her murderous path?

"The US Air Force has the capability of manipulating climate either for testing purposes or for outright military-intelligence use. These capabilities extend to the triggering of floods, hurricanes, droughts and earthquakes." (excerpt from "Article 4" below)

For almost two weeks, many have fumed, finger-pointed, and theorized about the purportedly "incompetent" or "slow" or "bungled" or "virtually nonexistent" government response to Hurricane Katrina. Sure, the response was all of that and much worse.

But a few are now daring to ask : did elements within the U.S. or other governments have a role in creating, "enhancing," or steering Katrina toward her Gulf Coast target, using advanced military technology? If so, was Katrina at least in part an act of mass murder and treason, perhaps by rogue elements within the Pentagon or its private contractors--or was it, possibly, a stealthy act of war against the U.S.?

The four articles below suggest these are reasonable questions and EXACTLY the questions we--and Congress--should be asking NOW.

Please read and draw your own conclusions. Then consider what steps we, the world’s humans, can take to get answers, unearth truth, demand accountability, end military madness, and salvage what’s left of our environment.

As you read, think about last winter’s tsunami, which destabilized a highly strategic region for hydrocarbon production and, especially, hydrocarbon shipping. Think about the 2001 FEMA report that identified the THREE "likeliest, most catastrophic disasters facing this country" : a terror attack on New York, a major hurricane’s direct hit on New Orleans, and a major earthquake in Northern California. Is it two down, one to go?

And think about the eerie parallel with September 11, in which another little-publicized technology may have played a starring role : technology allowing ground-based, remote-control piloting of airliners, with no hijackers even necessary. (For info on this, do a search on "Global Hawk" or on "Flight Termination System," or read Mike Ruppert’s "Crossing the Rubicon" and/or Webster Tarpley’s "9-11 Synthetic Terror.")

HAARP, slated for final completion in 2002, sends out a focused and steerable electromagnetic (EM) beam that can superheat and actually lift sections of the ionosphere--the electrically charged upper layer of our atmosphere lying 40 to 500 miles above the Earth’s surface. The EM waves are targeted to bounce back to Earth from "virtual" mirrors and lenses, created by warming specific areas of the ionosphere until they produce a flat or curved shape, capable of strategically redirecting significant amounts of electromagnetic energy."

"Washington’s New World Order Weapons Have the Ability to Trigger Climate Change"

by Michel Chossudovsky

January 4, 2002

The important debate on global warming under UN auspices provides but a partial picture of climate change ; in addition to the devastating impacts of greenhouse gas emissions on the ozone layer, the World’s climate can now be modified as part of a new generation of sophisticated "non-lethal weapons." Both the Americans and the Russians have developed capabilities to manipulate the World’s climate.

In the US, the technology is being perfected under the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) as part of the ("Star Wars") Strategic Defence Initiative (SDI). Recent scientific evidence suggests that HAARP is fully operational and has the ability of potentially triggering floods, droughts, hurricanes and earthquakes. From a military standpoint, HAARP is a weapon of mass destruction. Potentially, it constitutes an instrument of conquest capable of selectively destabilising agricultural and ecological systems of entire regions.

While there is no evidence that this deadly technology has been used, surely the United Nations should be addressing the issue of "environmental warfare" alongside the debate on the climatic impacts of greenhouse gases...

Despite a vast body of scientific knowledge, the issue of deliberate climatic manipulations for military use has never been explicitly part of the UN agenda on climate change. Neither the official delegations nor the environmental action groups participating in the Hague Conference on Climate Change (CO6) (November 2000) have raised the broad issue of "weather warfare" or "environmental modification techniques (ENMOD)" as relevant to an understanding of climate change.

The clash between official negotiators, environmentalists and American business lobbies has centered on Washington’s outright refusal to abide by commitments on carbon dioxide reduction targets under the 1997 Kyoto protocol.(1) The impacts of military technologies on the World’s climate are not an object of discussion or concern. Narrowly confined to greenhouse gases, the ongoing debate on climate change serves Washington’s strategic and defense objectives.

"WEATHER WARFARE"

World renowned scientist Dr. Rosalie Bertell confirms that "US military scientists ... are working on weather systems as a potential weapon. The methods include the enhancing of storms and the diverting of vapor rivers in the Earth’s atmosphere to produce targeted droughts or floods." (2) Already in the 1970s, former National Security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski had foreseen in his book "Between Two Ages" that :

"Technology will make available, to the leaders of major nations, techniques for conducting secret warfare, of which only a bare minimum of the security forces need be appraised... [T]echniques of weather modification could be employed to produce prolonged periods of drought or storm."

Marc Filterman, a former French military officer, outlines several types of "unconventional weapons" using radio frequencies. He refers to "weather war," indicating that the U.S. and the Soviet Union had already "mastered the know-how needed to unleash sudden climate changes (hurricanes, drought) in the early 1980s."(3) These technologies make it "possible to trigger atmospheric disturbances by using Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) radar [waves]." (4)

A simulation study of future defense "scenarios" commissioned for the US Air Force calls for :

"US aerospace forces to ’own the weather’ by capitalizing on emerging technologies and focusing development of those technologies to war-fighting applications... From enhancing friendly operations or disrupting those of the enemy via small-scale tailoring of natural weather patterns to complete dominance of global communications and counterspace control, weather-modification offers the war fighter a wide-range of possible options to defeat or coerce an adversary... In the United States, weather-modification will likely become a part of national security policy with both domestic and international applications. Our government will pursue such a policy, depending on its interests, at various levels.(5)

HIGH-FREQUENCY ACTIVE AURORAL RESEARCH PROGRAM (HAARP)

The High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) based in Gokoma Alaska --jointly managed by the US Air Force and the US Navy-- is part of a new generation of sophisticated weaponry under the US Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). Operated by the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Space Vehicles Directorate, HAARP constitutes a system of powerful antennas capable of creating "controlled local modifications of the ionosphere". Scientist Dr. Nicholas Begich --actively involved in the public campaign against HAARP-- describes HAARP as :

"A super-powerful radiowave-beaming technology that lifts areas of the ionosphere [upper layer of the atmosphere] by focusing a beam and heating those areas. Electromagnetic waves then bounce back onto earth and penetrate everything -- living and dead." (6)

Dr. Rosalie Bertell depicts HAARP as "a gigantic heater that can cause major disruption in the ionosphere, creating not just holes, but long incisions in the protective layer that keeps deadly radiation from bombarding the planet." 7

MISLEADING PUBLIC OPINION

HAARP has been presented to public opinion as a program of scientific and academic research. US military documents seem to suggest, however, that HAARP’s main objective is to "exploit the ionosphere for Department of Defense purposes." (8) Without explicitly referring to the HAARP program, a US Air Force study points to the use of "induced ionospheric modifications" as a means of altering weather patterns as well as disrupting enemy communications and radar.9

According to Dr. Rosalie Bertell, HAARP is part of a integrated weapons’ system, which has potentially devastating environmental consequences :

"It is related to fifty years of intensive and increasingly destructive programs to understand and control the upper atmosphere. It would be rash not to associate HAARP with the space laboratory construction which is separately being planned by the United States. HAARP is an integral part of a long history of space research and development of a deliberate military nature. The military implications of combining these projects is alarming. ... The ability of the HAARP / Spacelab/ rocket combination to deliver very large amount of energy, comparable to a nuclear bomb, anywhere on earth via laser and particle beams, are frightening. The project is likely to be "sold" to the public as a space shield against incoming weapons, or, for the more gullible, a device for repairing the ozone layer. (10)

In addition to weather manipulation, HAARP has a number of related uses :

"HAARP could contribute to climate change by intensively bombarding the atmosphere with high-frequency rays... Returning low-frequency waves at high intensity could also affect people’s brains, and effects on tectonic movements cannot be ruled out. (11)

More generally, HAARP has the ability of modifying the World’s electro-magnetic field. It is part of an arsenal of "electronic weapons" which US military researchers consider a "gentler and kinder warfare". (12)

[whitemajikman]

WEAPONS OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER

HAARP is part of the weapons arsenal of the New World Order under the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). From military command points in the US, entire national economies could potentially be destabilized through climatic manipulations. More importantly, the latter can be implemented without the knowledge of the enemy, at minimal cost and without engaging military personnel and equipment as in a conventional war.

The use of HAARP -- if it were to be applied -- could have potentially devastating impacts on the World’s climate. Responding to US economic and strategic interests, it could be used to selectively modify climate in different parts of the World resulting in the destabilization of agricultural and ecological systems.

It is also worth noting that the US Department of Defense has allocated substantial resources to the development of intelligence and monitoring systems on weather changes. NASA and the Department of Defense’s National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) are working on "imagery for studies of flooding, erosion, land-slide hazards, earthquakes, ecological zones, weather forecasts, and climate change" with data relayed from satellites. (13)

POLICY INERTIA OF THE UNITED NATIONS

According to the Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) signed at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro :

"States have... in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and the principles of international law, the (...) responsibility to ensure that activities within their jurisdiction or control do not cause damage to the environment of other States or of areas beyond the limits of national jurisdiction." (14)

It is also worth recalling that an international Convention ratified by the UN General Assembly in 1997 bans "military or other hostile use of environmental modification techniques having widespread, long-lasting or severe effects." (15) Both the US and the Soviet Union were signatories to the Convention. The Convention defines "’environmental modification techniques’ as referring to any technique for changing--through the deliberate manipulation of natural processes--the dynamics, composition or structure of the earth, including its biota, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere or of outer space." (16)

Why then did the UN --disregarding the 1977 ENMOD Convention as well as its own charter-- decide to exclude from its agenda climatic changes resulting from military programs?

EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT ACKNOWLEDGES IMPACTS OF HAARP

In February 1998, responding to a report of Mrs. Maj Britt Theorin --Swedish MEP and longtime peace advocate--, the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs, Security and Defense Policy held public hearings in Brussels on the HAARP program.(17) The Committee’s "Motion for Resolution" submitted to the European Parliament :

"Considers HAARP... by virtue of its far-reaching impact on the environment to be a global concern and calls for its legal, ecological and ethical implications to be examined by an international independent body... ; [the Committee] regrets the repeated refusal of the United States Administration... to give evidence to the public hearing ...into the environmental and public risks [of] the HAARP program." (18).

The Committee’s request to draw up a "Green Paper" on "the environmental impacts of military activities", however, was casually dismissed on the grounds that the European Commission lacks the required jurisdiction to delve into "the links between environment and defense". (19) Brussels was anxious to avoid a showdown with Washington.

FULLY OPERATIONAL

While there is no concrete evidence of HAARP having been used, scientific findings suggest that it is at present fully operational. What this means is that HAARP could potentially be applied by the US military to selectively modify the climate of an "unfriendly nation" or "rogue state" with a view to destabilizing its national economy.

Agricultural systems in both developed and developing countries are already in crisis as a result of New World Order policies including market deregulation, commodity dumping, etc. Amply documented, IMF and World Bank "economic medicine" imposed on the Third World and the countries of the former Soviet block has largely contributed to the destabilization of domestic agriculture. In turn, the provisions of the World Trade Organization (WTO) have supported the interests of a handful of Western agri-biotech conglomerates in their quest to impose genetically modified (GMO) seeds on farmers throughout the World.

It is important to understand the linkage between the economic, strategic and military processes of the New World Order. In the above context, climatic manipulations under the HAARP program (whether accidental or deliberate) would inevitably exacerbate these changes by weakening national economies, destroying infrastructure and potentially triggering the bankruptcy of farmers over vast areas. Surely national governments and the United Nations should address the possible consequences of HAARP and other "non-lethal weapons" on climate change.

This thread covers the topic of weather manipulation in all of its manifestations, implementations, history, and ongoing research globally and nationally.

In attempting to understand the connected science, we must all attempt to understand its basics and thus be able to discuss and converse regarding the nature of the science itself.

Attention scientists and buffs!!!

Here's a good start to refresh your scientific memory and introduce you to HAARP related science terms:

http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/glos.html

Wading through this page and reading every entry will prime your mind for the adventures to come.

One aspect of the glossary that jumps out at me relates to the strong presence of the sun or solar science and energies in connection with experimentation and functioning of the HAARP arrays. I had no idea the sun would be so integral to HAARP research and science. I find the related links older than expected and if any of you have time, newer HAARP links would be appreciated.

Here's a fairly new one updated in 2003:

http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/haarpDiag.html

If any of you find information and research data that you can simply relay to the readers and give a clear understanding of the research from the graphs and data..... please do. I must admit I'm floundering in the abundance of information of which I cannot interpret according to my own science background.

Data index updated 2005:

http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/data.fcgi

Please comment.

WMM, do you approve?

WMM,

I asked you to explore these sites and comment. I found another quite explicit related site to HAARP and I do think that understanding the science offered online about the system should come first, and then extrapolating possible black ops from there........ is the way to go.

You seem so intelligent and so scientifically aware that I invited you to give your reactions and comments on the HAARP engineering as offered. It's complicated and I can't figure it out. There are various charts and graphs and real time radar and I think if you could figure all of it out, go to certain dates regarding your suspicians on steering hurricanes and such... you might find the evidence you're looking for. In terms of science, the HAARP site is WAAAAAAAY above my head.

The invitation to explain the HAARP graphs and charts and SuperDARN information is open to all with a keen science understanding. Stuart? Yaak?

http://superdarn.jhuapl.edu/info.html

I may be forced to write the DARN engineers on this if I can't get help from the intelligent science buffs on this board!

Boomer This Proves That Haarp Can affect The Temperature in the Ionosphere...........and adds to the Problem.......

What Effects Are Produced By HAARP?

A portion of the energy contained in the HF signal transmitted by HAARP can be transferred to existing electrons or ions making up the ionospheric plasma through a process called absorption, thus raising the local effective temperature. As an example, the electron temperature at a height of 275 km (the peak of the F2 region) is over 1400°K. [2]. Work at other active ionospheric research facilities has shown that it is possible to raise this temperature by as much as 30% within a small, localized region during an experiment. The affected region would then temporarily display electrical characteristics different from neighboring regions of the layer. Sensitive scientific instruments on the ground can then be used to study the dynamic physical properties of this region in great detail.

As the electrons (and ions) acquire additional energy, their temperature increases, their kinetic energy increases and they begin to move more rapidly. In the F layer, this increased movement or expansion results in a decrease in the electron density. Experience at other active ionospheric research facilities [3] has shown that electron densities in the small, affected region can be reduced by 10% to 20%. This reduction in electon density is shown in the above chart by the dark green line.

Natural ionization in the F layer may produce an electron and ion density during the daytime of 1,000,000 cm-3, about 0.2% of the total gas present. Active ionospheric research using the HAARP HF transmitter (interacting only with the ionized particles and not the neutral gas) could suppress this electron density in a localized region to 800,000 cm-3. Compare this with the decrease in electron density that occurs naturally through a large portion of the nighttime F region (shown in the blue curve) of 500,000 cm-3 or less and it is clear that active ionospheric heating cannot duplicate what happens naturally, even within the small affected region directly over the facility.

According to some studies, the electron density in the E region may actually increase as a result of active heating because of the suppression of recombination processes. Compare this with the natural depletion that occurs every evening when the electron density in the E-layer falls as much as 200 times to levels of 1,000 cm-3 over almost the whole night hemisphere.

Quelle Gloire[?]

Which glory?


(1). "In which glory? Resurrection. In which glory? Listen to the Apostle speaking about our body: "It is sown in the abjection, it will ressuscitera in glory (2)."

http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://www.abbaye-saint-benoit.ch/saints/augustin/sermons/serm116.htm&prev=/search%3Fq%3DQuelle%2BGloire%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D

I suspect this is the original source of the question.


(Jean 13:26 to 32; Exodus 21:2 to 6). What a glory for Him in the achievement of work by the means of which the sin was going to be removed, love of God expressed in his plenitude! Which glory for God: from now on, under the terms of this work, the man could enter his presence and enjoy his love! And God, glorifié, owed with Itself of glorifier the Son of man who, by his sufferings and his death, had been acquired all the rights to this new glory. The Saint Spirit, Esprit of truth, would descend then ici-bas, sent by the Father and the Son, to remain with believing and to be in them like power of the new life, life of resurrection that the Lord their communicated: "because me I live, you also you will live"

For God's or man's glory? To ignore nature, the creation of God, is to ignore God and thus travel down the path of destruction. Respecting the natural balances of our planet, attempting to remedy our intrusions through natural means and respect for nature.... will bring us into harmonic concordance with our planet and thus, God.

Angels won't play that HAARP because they know better!

Weather Modification a Long-Established, Though Secretive, Reality (http://pesn.com/2005/09/06/9600160_Weather_Modification/)



New legislation not designed to foster pleasant or productive weather, but planned as tool of weaponized weather control, already well tested and in use since 1976. Amateur and hostile weather-makers alike likely to lose their technology to the military.

Feel free to choose an article, post it, and refute it.

[Boomer Chick]

The following quotes by Mary Sue Haliburton may strike some of you as "over the edge" and may sound quite appropriate to others. This is the nature of a public and citizenry subjected to government technicological secrecy and weaponized technologies that should be used for the benefit of all mankind.


It is not that these independent investigators are all inherently wild-eyed fanatics or crazy "conspiracy theorists", but frustration builds up in the absence of trustworthy information when people can see something happening and know that we are not being told the truth about what it is or why it is being done. Whatever the tone, all agree that something is going on, and it does not appear to be beneficial to humanity. Where do we go from here? Unless we learn, en masse, to use our innate human abilities to, in effect, return to the most ancient way and compassionately balance our environment through mental/spiritual means, there will be no place to hide from the storms and droughts to come.


The propaganda machine puts forward the loss of freedom as inevitable due to these alleged "natural" effects of "global warming". An article in the weekend newspapers owned by the right-wing CanWest Global chain in Canada argues for the weather war. It states: “A Pentagon report, written well in advance of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, says weather catastrophes will create a new world order.� (Ref (http://pesn.com/2005/09/06/9600160_Weather_Modification/#The Climate Revolution).) This was hardly a “prophecy being fulfilled� if it was a military plan based on secret war technology. The appearance of this major feature article on the day that Rita was expected to have devastated Houston is a dead give-away that weather manipulation is being used to achieve political and financial goals, circumventing all laws and constitutions.

We can't sit on the fence. We have to make a choice: either condone this or reject it, based on as much information as can be gathered.

In my view, the only ILLEGITIMATE use of weather control is this "force multiplier" concept: to cause droughts, floods, famine and enslavement of whole populations. Unlike farmers and small operators, this is not done for altruistic or benevolent reasons: multiplying force in this way enables a few wealthy companies and individuals to profit from expropriation and even genocide while blaming it on "the weather" and getting off scot-free.

As long as Weather Control is kept secret, it can and will be used for nefarious purposes, Bringing it into the public eye is the first step toward accountability, and toward ensuring that weather is controlled for beneficial purposes, to balance the needs of humanity and the planet.

So, while working toward public accountability for all weather-management activity, pray earnestly to God, use your radionics, or your orgone-generator, or even just your alpha-rhythm and imagination. Let's mitigate all these super-storms.

I find her ending rather weak, but she makes a valiant attempt to express herself and uses quite a list of references.

From WMM Post #22 on Page 3:

.....Much of the general public remains apathetic, disinterested, and confused by the climate skeptics and the huge propaganda machine. The debate centers on whether there is clear scientific rationale to address climate change. The disparity between public perceptions and military realities is monumental. The current public debate around climate protocols and greenhouse gas emissions only serves to facilitate greater military adventurism, at the expense of American citizens, at the expense of democracy, to the greater devastation of earth and all its life forms.....
A great deal, if not most, of the research activity in the upper atmospheric layers is motivated by the need to quantify and predict space weather patterns. This of course makes sense when one realizes that the conduct of warfare is eventually going to be implemented almost exclusively from space-based platforms. In fact this trend is already underway. It will become increasingly important to protect all that warfare-related communications and surveillance hardware from what it is hoped will become increasingly predictable space weather events.

U.S. Air Force Plans for Future War in Space
http://www.cndyorks.gn.apc.org/yspa...ar_in_space.htm

The U.S. Air Force has filed a futuristic flight plan, one that spells out need for an armada of space weaponry and technology for the near-term and in years to come.

Called the Transformation Flight Plan, the 176-page document offers a sweeping look at how best to expand America’s military space tool kit.

The use of space is highlighted throughout the report, with the document stating that space superiority combines the following three capabilities: protect space assets, deny adversaries’ access to space, and quickly launch vehicles and operate payloads into space to quickly replace space assets that fail or are damaged/destroyed.

From space global laser engagement, air launched anti-satellite missiles, to space-based radio frequency energy weapons and hypervelocity rod bundles heaved down to Earth from space – the U.S. Air Force flight plan portrays how valued space operations has become for the warfighter and in protecting the nation from chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high explosive attack.....

All about "ether" and the physics of "ether" and those who have weather engineered through this physics. Some may call it psuedo science and others may find it fascinating. Skeptics will find their motherlode in this site!

http://www.rainengineering.com/



Our group today, views the weather as a geometric living structure. Control is available to anyone wise enough to approach the task minus the biases of mechanistic meteorology. Patience is also a prime requirement in grasping and using what is essentially a biogeometric technology. Planet Earth is a living organism, naturally reluctant to respond to the technology of chemical or electromagnetic insult.

Four operating bases were used in Pincer II.. Sited at Hatfield Flat (16 miles east of San Diego); at Fort Zinderneuf in Desert Hot Springs; on the Banning Bench in the Banning Pass; and on Point Fermin (the southernmost tip of the City of Los Angeles), these bases were manned by trusted associates. Trent at Hatfield Flat, Segreti at Fort Zinderneuf, Norgaard in the Banning Pass, and myself at Point Fermin.

Pincer II derived its name from the engineering intention to bring moisture into the L.A. Basin via two routes designed, like a pincer, to converge on L.A. Civic Center. The main effort would be via Hatfield Flat and San Diego, up the coast on the ocean side of the coastal mountains, passing east of Point Fermin and dropping into the rain gauge at Civic Center. The secondary arm of the pincer was via the Salton Sea and Banning Pass into the L.A. Basin from its eastern end. Successful engineering of this kind, would unfailingly produce rains in the National Forest areas. Such rainfall was accordingly made a secondary goal of Pincer II, and was so stated in advance, in the Initial Report filed with NOAA on 20 June 1986.

Knowledge of HAARP system and its capabilities by a Russian journalist:

http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=V.%2020040920&articleId=609

[Boomer Chick]

Forgive if a repeat:




Recently, scientists and engineers have started unveiling the actual methods of weather control. Some primitive methods like Cloud-top seeding can confuse you and point you to a wrong direction. Cloud-top seeding is usually performed between the temperatures of -5°C and -10°C. The greatest amount of super-cooled liquid water is usually found within this range. This corresponds to an altitude range of 15,000 to 22,000 ft depending upon location. Dropping or ejecting silver iodide flares into the growing cloud turrets dispenses seeding agent. The seeding agent is placed into the super-cooled clouds where nucleation is desired, so the updrafts in these cases are relied upon only to provide a continuing source of condensate. This delivery technique requires less anticipation on the part of those directing the seeding operations and may have a more immediate effect.

The more modern methods involve artificial ionization of earth’s atmosphere between 15,000 and 30,000 ft. and above. Manipulating the ionosphere and use of controlled solar-terrestrial interactions can create much larger effects. Scientists are realizing that the earth’s weather is controlled by Sun's natural Electromagnetic Radiation reaching the earth. The Sun’s Radiations and Ultraviolet Rays have to cross the ionosphere to reach the earth.

There are early indications that the solar radiations and flares are directly responsible for planetary weather changes. And Solar flares and levels of radiations are caused by bombardment of cosmic rays on the Sun from either a distant massive black hole or a star-cluster caused by the collapse of thousands and thousands of stars in a small space.

Computer models obviously focused on the ionosphere, which acts as a filter for the solar radiations to reach the earth. If one can manipulate and control the filter, it becomes a potential source of massive weather modification. That is what the computer simulation models found. Controlling the ionosphere potentially allows weather control. The algorithmic variation of ionosphere can create the magic in a massive scale.

There are many methods of controlling the ionosphere. It is the process of artificially manipulating ion density in the ionosphere. High power transmitter and antenna array operating in the HF(High Frequency) range is one of the methods. There are lots of literature on that in the Internet and declassified scientific research journals. However, the recent trend is in using super conductors in space satellites to generate intense high intensity electromagnetic flux.

Weather manipulation warfare from outerspace
India Daily Technology Team
Aug. 20, 2005 Weather manipulation warfare is taking a new sophistication. Researchers are planning use the space to manipulate the weather of the earth. Measures and counter measures mark the advanced war games that are being played.



The technology involves manipulation of the ionosphere. The advanced techniques involve application of artificial electromagnetic field intensities. For example a cyclone can be created by these methods but the challenge lies in guiding the cyclone or typhoon to the adversary’s infrastructure in the warfare. For that, scientists are using defection shields by which solar flares can be deflected at the eye of the cyclone and drag it in the desired path.

Artificial manipulation of ionosphere can create massive cyclones and typhoons. But the mare use of ionosphere can only create the seed. The application of electromagnetic flux and creating a temperature differential is what makes a cyclone menacing.

Scientists have struggled to understand the best process of guiding the storm or manipulated weather. Many methods have been used. One of the recent methods used is bombarding neutrinos at the center of the eye of the cyclone or typhoon. Electromagnetic guiding of the cyclone is gaining ground.

The counter measures adopted by the countries against covert weather manipulation warfare are also remarkable but are still in its infancy. One counter measure as opted by some countries is the application of artificial electromagnetic flux from the outer space to neutralize the deflected solar flares in the eye of the storm.

Eventually it will be weather manipulation warfare from the outer space. The satellite is being used now. But space agencies in the world are planning to bring in asteroids closer to earth, control them with bombarding projectiles and use them as landing base for weather manipulation infrastructure.

If an asteroid can be used for hosting the solar flare deflectors, artificial manipulation of earth’s ionospheres and magnetosphere and creation and application of targeted pinpointed electromagnetic flux, the storms can be accurately controlled and de-controlled.

The challenge finally lies into the hands of pace agencies; they are the one who will be responsible for weather manipulation and creation of nuclear shields. Copyright © 2004-2005, Indiadaily.com. All Rights Reserved.

Simulations of ELF radiation generated by heating the high-latitude D- region



H.L. Rowland, Beam Physics Branch, Plasma Physics Division, Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D.C.

By modulating the ambient current flowing in the ionosphere, e.g., the auroral electrojet, it is possible to generate extremely low frequency (ELF) and very low frequency (VLF) radiation. This ionospheric modification technique can provide such waves for probing both the Earth and the ionosphere- magnetosphere. The modification occurs in the lower D-region and can provide information about the ambient conditions in one of the least diagnosed regions of the ionosphere.

The electrojet is modulated by using a high frequency heater (a few MHZ) with the power modulated at the desired ELF/VLF frequency to heat the ionospheric electrons in the lower D-region. Figure 1a (http://wwwppd.nrl.navy.mil/whatsnew/haarp/vert.gif) shows a sketch of the heater and heated region. The heated region is typically at 75 km (though this depends upon the carrier frequency) and can be 30 km in diameter and a few km thick. Viewed from above (see Figure 1b (http://wwwppd.nrl.navy.mil/whatsnew/haarp/horz.gif)) the heated region is a roughly circular patch. The smoothness of the heated region depends upon the antenna radiation pattern as well as D-region conditions. The heating increases the electron-neutral collision rate which changes the conductivities. Since on ELF time scales the ambient electric field is constant, modulating the conductivity produces a current modulated at the same frequency. At these altitudes the conductivity change is predominantly in the Hall conductivity. If the ambient electric field, E, is in ±y direction, a time varying current perturbation is generated, j, in the ±x direction (Fig. 1b). The time varying current launches waves both up and down the Earth's magnetic field. In the simulations shown here, we start with a time-varying current and study the downward propagating waves and how they couple into the Earth-ionospheric wave guide.

Animations

The animations show 5 different representations of the same simulation. The simulation uses a time-varying current perturbation (1 kHz) in the D-region at 75 km. The current is in the magnetic east-west direction. The Earth's magnetic field is vertical. The simulation box is 1800 by 1800 by 120 km. Isosurfaces are shown for the absolute value of the horizontal magnetic field ABSB (http://wwwppd.nrl.navy.mil/whatsnew/haarp/absb.html) and of the vertical electric field ABSEZ (http://wwwppd.nrl.navy.mil/whatsnew/haarp/absez.html). Also shown is the east-west magnetic field in the near-field BX1 (http://wwwppd.nrl.navy.mil/whatsnew/haarp/BX1.html) and in the far-field BX2 (http://wwwppd.nrl.navy.mil/whatsnew/haarp/BX2.html). Since the field amplitude falls off with distance, BX1 (http://wwwppd.nrl.navy.mil/whatsnew/haarp/BX1.html) uses a order-of-magnitude larger isosurface value than BX2 (http://wwwppd.nrl.navy.mil/whatsnew/haarp/BX2.html) to emphasize the field close to the site. The north- south magnetic field is shown in BY1 (http://wwwppd.nrl.navy.mil/whatsnew/haarp/BY1.html) and BY2 (http://wwwppd.nrl.navy.mil/whatsnew/haarp/BY2.html). These plots look slightly different from the absolute value plots where both the positive and negative surfaces were shown. Also BX and BY do have a different orientation of the their radiation patterns. The direction of the radiation is determined by the total horizontal field shown in ABSB (http://wwwppd.nrl.navy.mil/whatsnew/haarp/absb.html) and by the vertical electric field shown in ABSEZ (http://wwwppd.nrl.navy.mil/whatsnew/haarp/absez.html). The radiation pattern in the earth-ionosphere waveguide is a combination of a linear dipole antenna and a right-hand circular antenna. At ELF frequencies because of low D-region absorption the dipole is dominant. The dipole radiates in the magnetic east-west direction.

Because 1 kHz is below cutoff the mode in the waveguide is a TEM mode. The mode consists of a horizontal B field perpendicular to the direction of propagation and a vertical electric field. With perfect conductors, the mode is uniform in the vertical direction. As the wave propagates in the waveguide, the top of the wave is approximately at the bottom of the ionosphere. Above the heated region, waves are also launched along the Earth's magnetic field. In the near-field ( BX1 (http://wwwppd.nrl.navy.mil/whatsnew/haarp/BX1.html) and BY1 (http://wwwppd.nrl.navy.mil/whatsnew/haarp/BY1.html)) one can see the pulse being radiated downward. It strikes the ground and reflects back up to the ionosphere. Part of the energy propagates up the field lines into the ionosphere. This is the bubble seen rising up. The D-region is highly collisional and damps this wave. Looking at BX2 (http://wwwppd.nrl.navy.mil/whatsnew/haarp/BX2.html) and BY2 (http://wwwppd.nrl.navy.mil/whatsnew/haarp/BY2.html) one can see that the energy mainly stays in the waveguide. If one looks closely at the top of the wave in the waveguide the wave appears to be curved. The waveguide mode is coupling into the bottom of the D-region and driving a whistler mode up the field lines. The whistlers have a much lower velocity than the waveguide mode and can only propagate along the field lines. This acts to curve the top of the waves. These waves help form the bubble that propagates up the field line. Because of this, the diameter of the bubble is much larger than the heated region.

Above the heated region in ABSEZ (http://wwwppd.nrl.navy.mil/whatsnew/haarp/absez.html) one can see a pair of coils revolving around each other. These are the currents that flow up and down the Earth's magnetic field forming the current loops associated with the waves propagating up the field lines. Finally, EZ1 (http://wwwppd.nrl.navy.mil/whatsnew/haarp/ez1.html) is a blow-up of the high-altitude portion of the vertical electric field for positive values of the electric field; the current loop is more clearly seen.

Militarising Space: Quantum Leaping Backwards
Felicity Hill, WILPF
http://www.wilpf.int.ch/publications/2001japan.htm

Excerpt:

It is well known that the US is developing laser technology for use in space. I would like to focus here on some of the lesser well-known technologies under consideration, research or development.

The Long Range Plan was portrayed as US Space Command’s "deliberate effort to extend the national defence planning horizon and ensure military space is postured to exploit future opportunities and meet future challenges" out to 2020. USSPACECOM foresaw a role for itself in "dominating the space dimension of military operations to protect US national interests and investment…[and] integrating space forces into warfighting capabilities across the full spectrum of conflict." To accomplish these objectives, four operational concepts are envisaged:

* control of space — the ability to assure or deny access to and freedom of operations within space;
* global engagement — combining integrated focussed surveillance and missile defence with a potential ability to apply force from space;
* full force integration — the integration of space forces and space-derived information with air, land and sea forces and information; and
* global partnerships — augmenting military space capabilities through exploitation of civil, commercial and international space systems.

An August 5 New York Times story confirmed this, "Space planners envision a high-tech arsenal that will take full advantage of the military potential of space ranging from the near-term possible to long-term notional kinetic energy rods, microwave guns, space-based lasers, pyrotechnic electro-magnetic pulses, and so on, it said. A microwave gun on board, a 200-pound micro-satellite could emit a pulse of microwaves and fry the electronics of the enemy satellite permanently."

In a U.S. Air Force research study, "Weather as a Force Multiplier" issued in August, 1996, seven U.S. military officers outlined how HAARP and aerial cloud-seeding from tankers could allow U.S. aerospace forces to "own the weather" by the year 2025. Among the desired objectives were "Storm Enhancement," "Storm Modification" and "Induce Drought." According to the Air Force report, "In the United States, weather-modification will likely become a part of national security policy with both domestic and international applications."

Within 30 years, the Air Force foresees using Weather Force Support Elements with "the necessary sensor and communication capabilities to observe, detect, and act on weather-modification requirements to support U.S. military objectives" by "using airborne cloud generation and seeding" techniques being developed at the time, the 1996 Air Force report says.

Another relevant project in this scheme is HAARP which stands for "High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program." It's a joint project of the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory and the Naval Research Laboratory. HAARP is a series of antennas aimed up at the farthest reaches of the ionosphere high above a frozen wasteland in Alaska. The HAARP complex sends and receives radio waves through the skies and studies how atmospheric changes caused by the transmissions distort and delay how the signals pass through space. The studies might allow military planners to design new communication systems in future space vehicles. Advanced systems might be able to alter the ionosphere in a controlled way to establish new communications capabilities while interfering with other satellites. One of the prime goals of the project is the manipulation of the electrojet. If the electrojet touches down on Earth, it can blow out a major power grid, thus depriving a large region of electricity. When HAARP is completed, it will be able to warm specific areas of the ionosphere until they produce a curve-shaped lens capable of redirecting significant amounts of electromagnetic energy. These reflected electromagnetic beams may be in microwave or ultraviolet range and could be used as a weapon either to incinerate a forest or oil reserve or to selectively kill living things.

The HAARP project is linked to other research and military facilities, so it, like the missile defence plans, cannot be considered in isolation. One such facility is the network of SuperDARN radars, the stated purpose of which is to form a "network of high latitude high frequency radars which will contribute to the goal of US Arctic Research Initiatives. These goals outlined in the SuperDARN grant proposal are to 'improve the predictability of disturbances in space and their effects on high altitude communications, electric power grids, satellite orbital stability and defence systems.'

DISTURBING NOTES FROM MCCANNEY's RADIO SHOW

Firstly, Jim McCanney, MS, is an expert on weather manipulation, having written numerous scientific papers and a book about it:

http://www.jmccanneyscience.com/ (http://www.jmccanneyscience.com/)

Secondly, he provided enough detail to convince me that he's someone we should pay attention to. He asserts that energy for hurricanes comes from the ionosphere, and that the eye of a hurricane is actually an electric field. He states that hurricanes can occur over cold water too, citing the "Perfect Storm" off the New England coast of 1991.

Thirdly, he states very matter of factly, claiming to have helped develop the science that makes it possible that satellite guided lasers can be used to ionize the path in front of a hurricane for the purpose of steering it to an intended landfall. He states that originally this technology was intended to steer hurricanes AWAY from populated areas so as to MINIMIZE the damage they do, but he asserts that with Katrina, it was horribly misused for evil purposes.

He asserts that his scientific papers were translated into Russian by Russian scientists who then gave our government information about weather manipulation so that we could use it to PROTECT ourselves from hurricanes since they don't occur in Russia, but do occur in US waters.

He asserts that this technology makes it possible to drag hurricanes around by the lip just as it would be possible to make a person go where you want if you put a ring through their nose or lip and attached a cord to it to yank on it.

He asserts that just before the hurricane would have hit New Orleans, it made a 90 degree turn just before landfall, which steered it directly into oil refineries just EAST of New Orleans off the Mississippi coast.

He asserts that the pattern of levvy breaches around New Orleans indicates that explosives were used to blow them citing that the official explanation that they were caused by a storm surge didn't add up because of breaches occurring on the River side and on the Canal side of the city (away from Lake Ponchartrain). He states that when the levvy's broke, the storm surge had ALREADY OCCURRED the day BEFORE. He flat out accuses FEMA of being responsible for blowing the levees. While there is no proof of that, it would be consistent with their OTHER actions which were clearly more geared towards establishing government CONTROL over the city than to save lives.

He notes that people who have been saying that weather manipulation "is scientifically impossible" are wrong, and points us to a UN Resolution signed during the Carter Administration in 1976 as hard evidence of its reality:

http://www.fas.org/nuke/control/enmod/intro.htm (http://www.fas.org/nuke/control/enmod/intro.htm)

He asserts that this UN Resolution only makes it illegal to use weather modification technology to attack ANOTHER COUNTRY but that it DID NOT make it illegal to use against YOUR OWN PEOPLE.

He asserts that our own SPACE COMMAND at NASA has the ability to steer hurricanes, and flat out states that this just happened with Katrina.

He also stated that he feels it is highly likely that ADDITIONAL contrived events will occur for the purpose of triggering martial law in the USA.

At the time he did this radio show, Hurricane Rita didn't yet exist, but it sure does now, and its heading for Houston Texas and all the oil refineries there.

Thanks, Jay. I like Phil Plait and have often read over at his site. Matter of fact I've e-mailed him as well. If he thinks McCanney is a psuedo-scientist, then I shall read him circumspectly. I also read Hoagland the same way, but I do sift and agree that when observing the whole planetary solar system at this time, as he does, I see changes and effects across the solar system reflected on all the planets and moons. Hoagland has compiled a great volume of accurate information on his site regarding NASA photos of planets and statements regarding their geophysical changes of late. His esoteric/spiritual/geometric information in combination with Wilcox (?) is a fascinating, fascinating treatise on geometry and the power of geometry itself regarding energies.

Thanks for the warning!

Yes, it is.

I think it's a bad idea to be playing around with Earth's etheric body.

Thank you, FS!!! Because we post information and not psycho blabber and caustic interchanges I feel our information remains ignored!

Who the heck cares?

Could this be a colossal waste of time?

[halva]

It isn't a waste of time. Your efforts are appreciated and (to speak for myself) read to the extent possible in the time left over from the caustic exchanges and from related off-line real-world activity.

Once we defeat Reynolds we will be able to devote more time to catching up with you and FS.

You may not see this as a priority, but you are wrong.

You did not respond to the questions I asked you at
http://www.ariannaonline.com/forums/showpost.php?p=397760&postcount=22

I would not call that avoidance of caustic exchanges. If it had been Reynolds who had been addressing you, you would have responded. I don't know how you expect to acquire or keep the respect of people who matter when you pursue this policy.

[Boomer Chick]

Halva:

I wish BC would begin to have a little consideration for the rest of us and stop talking to Reynolds. There is always the option of private correspondence.

BC, would you not like to make it possible for me to spend more time mastering the subject matter of these threads and less time fighting Reynolds, which I am obliged to do every time he barges in to derail us from focused and constructive discussion.

Does the meaning of the Greenpeace story I told not register with you at all?

Would you invite Reynolds to participate in a discussion with Greenpeace?

If so, please explain why.

If not, why do you invite him to participate in our discussions here?

Please do not tell me about freedom of speech as if the person we are talking about is not an effective silencer and destroyer of the free speech of others. You saw at CTC how the debunkers there were driving away young people who had come to that forum in search of knowledge. It made you angry. You appear to have had other criteria in those days. Why the change?

Yes, I remember reading this. I also remember posting quite a long and detailed answer to one of your responses as well and don't recall your acknowledgement.

The Greenpeace story registered but it was hard to follow and I was confused in my attempt to see your point of view. So I let it go. I can't spend my time judging and officiating interchanges which other people experience and which do not impinge on the larger politic of any country, movement, or larger truth. Pure and simple, your rendition was confusing and full of judgments I have no time to understand nor unravel. Is that clear enough for you.

And no, I will not ignore nor "fight" with Reynolds. As I've said many times before, I sometimes agree with him, sometimes disagree, and I give him the freedom as I give myself to agree or disagree with anyone else for any other reason. If he expresses disagreement or judgment upon some theory, some person...... he states why and others are free to disagree and refute his explanations and reasoning. I have often disagreed with his reasoning. It's easy to do without resorting to name-calling, flaming, and hostility. His quoting the statements that others have made about themselves strikes me as quite hilarious indeed. How silly we human beings truly are to even care what others think and rearrange reality to somehow impress others, cajole, or otherwise try to control how others perceive us. He uses an ingenious method to reflect others back to themselves. I would have loved to have recorded many a conversation with others and family members and simply played it back to them for their own information.

I still do disagree with Jay (hi Jay!) that his label of "hoaxing" is appropriate in regard to many so-called psuedo-scientists and out of the mainstream theorists. For the most part I see those folks as sincere, but I'm sure a certain percentage must be taking advantage of a gullible public in their selling of their books. Not everyone can be accurate and right when you consider the sheer volume of theories many of which outright contradict one another. But in the case of weather manipulation theories and observations of cloud behavior and weather mass behavior in the example of Scott Stevens I of course remain open to further developments and DO NOT see those who see anomolies and attempt to find secret technologies as a recent factor of a strange weather equation as "hoaxers." They sincerely quest for the truth regarding what they see.

I will not join in your hostility and view of Reynolds. I don't have it within me, he has not produced it in me, and I will not join your view. You must be adult enough to accept that I perceive the world and others differently than you and cease your attempts to control me in any way.

I find the topics at hand far more important than the bantering about personal relations. If you care about the truth and getting the truth out, you would focuse upon the information you could disseminate rather than the galling judgments and repulsive accusations from which you seem to derive too much pleasure. The truth and sound information should be your sword and buckler, not your ability to name-call, accuse, personally degrade, and constantly express a form of hatred that if you could express yourself in physical terms you would have fought with material weapons and shed blood in your insistence on an enemy/battle situation here. You do nothing, therefore, to further the cause of peace.

And Jay, rather than attack, has been defending and doing an excellent job at that.

You need to state your case, support it, and use the truth and facts to persuade others not about Jay, not about you personally, but about your environmental concerns.

I am not participating in any kind of personal "battle" here. I'm not interested and cannot relate at all.

Yes. It is clear.

[halva]

I don't know if there is any point is suggesting to WMM that he try to explain the meaning of that post to you.

He perceives the necessity for publicly defeating Reynolds here if we are to go forward (here).

I don't know if he sees a necessity to win you over to that project.

He has another strategy in mind, but I don't know what its chances are of success.

There will be no victory over Reynolds here without a public acknowledgement from him HERE that he does not KNOW chemtrails do not exist and he therefore has no grounds for attacking people who say they believe chemtrails DO exist.

At CTC I said that anyone who claims to know that chemtrails do not exist should be excluded from discussion. I persist in that stance.

And I think you are wrong, BC, in your methodology, not to adopt that principle yourself.

You saw what happened to the young man from Greenpeace who applied the contrary conceptions he had learned from WMM who in turn had learned them from Reynolds.

[Boomer Chick]

Halva, it is OK to disagree. I shared with you your philosophy over at CTC, but because this is a broader forum and not privately owned nor titled as a "chemtrails" forum..... I do not share your view.


It's OK.

Care to contribute to the discussion about "weather manipulation?" Do you have any "hot" items?

Interesting read.... nothing new, really:

[Ghost Story]

I've wondered how difficult it would be to control(within a reasonable parameter) different weather anomaly's.
Somehow, I think a hurricane could be one anomaly that might have a better chance of having its course controlled, along with date and time of arrival.

With the little I have read of this, I think about how we can intercept a comet with a spacecraft vessel for research purposes, or a planet even; so why couldn't we choose a specific pt. A for starts, and end on a pt. B.
However this seeding, ionization, etc. works, wouldn't it be possible to use natural phenomena or cycles of motion(like earths rotation, lunar cycle), and incorporate a natural logrithm into the equation of both building, charting and guiding a hurrricane from start to finish?

Maybe you could actually lead a hurricane along its route(or help it), by some form of electro-statics? This natural attraction would be like dangling a carrot in front of a horse :) .

1. Introduction

DoD agencies already have on-going efforts in the broad area of active ionospheric experiments, including ionospheric enhancements. These include both space- and ground-based approaches. The space-based efforts include chemical releases (e.g., the Air Force's Brazilian Ionospheric Modification Experiment, BIME; the Navy's RED AIR program; and multi-agency participation in the Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite, CRRES). In addition other, planned, programs will employ particle beams and accelerators aboard rockets (e.g., EXCEDE and CHARGE IV), and shuttle- or satellite-borne RF transmitters (e.g., WISP and ACTIVE). Ground-based techniques employ the use of high power, radio frequency (RF), transmitters (so-called "heaters") to provide the energy in the ionosphere that causes it to be altered, or enhanced. The use of such heaters has a number of advantages over space-based approaches.

These include the possibility of repeating experiments under controlled conditions, and the capability of conducting a wide variety of experiments using the same facility. For example, depending on the RF frequency and effective radiated power (ERP) used, different regions of the atmosphere and the ionosphere can be affected to produce a number of practical effects, as illustrated in Table 1. Because of the large number and wide variety of those. effects, and because many of them have the potential to be exploited for important C3 applications, the program is focused on developing a robust program in the area of ground-based, high power RF heating of the ionosphere.

To date, most DoD ionospheric heating experiments have been conducted to gain better understanding of ionospheric processes, i.e., they have been used as geophysical-probes. In this, one perturbs the ionosphere, then studies how it responds to the disturbance and how it ultimately recovers back to ambient conditions. The use of ionospheric enhancement to simulate ionospheric processes and phenomena is a more recent development, made possible by the increasing knowledge being obtained on how they evolve naturally. By simulating natural ionospheric effects it is possible to assess how they may affect the performance of DoD systems. From a DoD point of view, however, the most exciting and challenging aspect of ionospheric enhancement is its potential to control ionospheric processes in such a way as to greatly enhance the performance of C3 systems (or to deny accessibility to an adversary), This is a revolutionary concept in that, rather than accepting the limitations imposed on operational systems by the natural ionosphere, it envisions seizing control of the propagation medium and shaping it to insure that a desired system capability can be achieved. A key ingredient of the DOD program is the goal of identifying and investigating those ionospheric processes and phenomena that can be exploited for such purposes.

2. Potential Applications

A brief description of a variety of potential applications of ionospheric- enhancement technology that could be addressed in the DOD program are outlined below.

2.1. Geophysical Probing

The use of ionospheric heating to investigate natural ionospheric processes is a traditional one. Such-research is still required in order to develop models of the ionosphere that can be used to reliably predict the performance of C3 systems, under both normal and disturbed ionospheric conditions. This aspect of ionospheric enhancement research is always available to the investigator; in effect, as a by-product of any ionospheric enhancement research, even if it is driven by specific system applications goals, such as discussed below.

2.2. Generation of ELF/VLF Waves

A number of critical DOD communications systems rely on the use of ELF/VLF (30 Hz-30kHz) radio waves. These include those associated with the Minimum Essential Emergency Communications Network (MEECN) and those used to disseminate messages to submerged submarines. In the latter, frequencies in the 70-150 Hz range are especially attractive, but difficult to generate efficiently with ground-based antenna systems. The potential exists for generating such waves by ground-based heating of the ionosphere. The heater is used to modulate the conductivity of the lower ionosphere, which in turn modulates ionospheric currents. This modulated current, in effect, produces a virtual antenna in the ionosphere for the radiation of radio waves. The technique has already been used to generate ELF/VLF signals at a number of vertical HF heating facilities in the West and the Soviet Union. To date, however, these efforts have been confined to essentially basic research studies, and few attempts have been made to investigate ways to increase the efficiency of such ELF/VLF generation to make it attractive for communications applications. In this regard, heater generated ELF would be attractive if it could provide significantly stronger signals than those available from the Navy's existing antenna systems in Wisconsin and Michigan. Recent theoretical research suggests that this may be possible, provided the appropriate HF heating facility was available. Because this area of research appears especially promising, and because of existing DOD requirements for ELF and VLF, it is already a primary driver of the proposed research program.

In addition to its potential application to long range, survivable, DOD communications, there is another potentially attractive application of strong ELF/VLF waves generated in the ionosphere by ground-based heaters. It is known that ELF/VLF signals generated by lightning strokes propagate through the ionosphere and interact with charged Particles trapped along geomagnetic field lines, causing them, from time to time, to precipitate into the lower ionosphere. If such processes could be reliably controlled, it would be possible to develop techniques to deplete selected regions of the radiation belts of particles, for short periods, thus allowing satellites to operate within them without harm to their electronic components, any of the critical issues associated with this concept of radiation-belt control could be investigated as part of the DOD program.

2.3. Generation of Ionospheric Holes/Lens

It is well known that HF heating produces local depletions ("holes") of electrons, thus altering the refractive properties of the ionosphere. This in turn affects the propagation of radio waves passing through that region. If techniques could be developed to exploit this phenomena in such a way as to create an artificial lens, it should be possible to use the lens as a focus to deliver much larger amounts of HF energy to higher altitudes in the ionosphere than is presently possible, thus opening up the way for triggering new ionospheric processes and phenomena that potentially could be exploited for DOD purposes. In fact, the general issue of developing techniques to insure that large energy densities can be made available at selected regions in the ionosphere, from ground-based heaters, is an important one that must be addressed in the DOD program.

2.4. Electron Acceleration

If sufficient energy densities are available in the ionosphere it should be possible to accelerate electrons to high energies, ranging from a few eV to even KeV and MeV levels. Such a capability would provide the means for a number of interesting DOD applications.

Electrons in the ionosphere accelerated to a few eV would generate a variety of IR and optical emissions. Observation and quantification of them would provide data on the concentration of minor constituents in the lower ionosphere and upper atmosphere, which cannot be obtained using conventional probing techniques. Such data would be important for the development of reliable models of the lower ionosphere which are ultimately used in developing radio-wave propagation prediction techniques. In addition, heater generated IR/optical emission, over selected areas of the earth could potentially be used to blind space-based military sensors.

Electrons accelerated to energy levels in the 14-20 eV range would produce new ionization in the ionosphere, via collisions with neutral particles. This suggests that it may be possible to "condition" the ionosphere so that it would support HF propagation during periods when the natural ionosphere was especially weak. This could potentially be exploited for long range (OTH) HF communication/surveillance purposes. Finally, the use of an HF heater to accelerate electrons to KeV or MeV energy levels could be used, in conjunction with satellite sensor measurements, for controlled investigations of the effects of high energy electrons on space platforms. There already is indication that high power transmitters on space-craft accelerate electrons in space to such high energy levels, and that those charged particles can impact on the spade- craft with harmful effects. The processes which trigger such phenomena and the development of techniques to avoid or mitigate them could be investigated as part of the DOD program.

2.5. Generation of Field Aligned Ionization

HF heating of the ionosphere produces patches of ionization that are aligned with the geomagnetic field, thus producing scattering centers for RF waves. Natural processes also produce such scatterers, as evidenced by the scintillations observed on satellite-to-ground links in the equatorial and high latitude regions. The use of a HF heater to generate such scatterers would provide a controlled way to investigate the natural physical processes that produce them, and could lead conceivably to the development of techniques to predict their natural occurrence, their structure and persistence, and (ultimately) the degree to which they would affect DOD systems.

One interesting potential application of heater induced field-aligned ionization is already a part of an on-going DOD (Air Force/RADC) research program, Ducted HF Propagation. It is known that there are high altitude ducts in the E- and F-regions of the ionosphere (110-250 km altitude range) that can support round-the-world HF Propagation. Normally, however, geometrical considerations show that it is not possible to gain access to these ducts from ground-based HF transmitters, From time-to time, however, natural gradients in the ionosphere (often associated with the day-night terminator) provide a means for scattering such HF signals into the elevated ducts. If access to such ducts could be done reliably, interesting very long range HF communications and surveillance applications can be envisioned.

For example, survivable HF propagation above nuclear disturbed ionospheric regions would be possible; or, the very long range detection of missiles breaking through the ionosphere on their way to targets, could be achieved. The use of an HF heater to produce field-aligned ionization in a controlled (reliable) way has been suggested as a means for developing such concepts, and will be tested in an up-coming satellite experiment to be conducted during FY92. The experiment calls for a heater in Alaska to generate field-aligned ionization that will scatter HF signals from a nearby transmitter into elevated ducts. A satellite receiver will record the signals to provide data on the efficiency of the field-aligned ionization as an RF scatterer, as well as the location, persistence, and HF propagation properties associated with the elevated ducts.

2.6. Oblique HF Heating

Most RF heating experiments being conducted in the West and in the Soviet Union employ vertically propagating HF waves. As such the region of the ionosphere that is affected is directly above the heater. For broader military applications, the potential for significantly altering regions of the ionosphere at relatively great distances (1000 km or more) from a heater is very desirable. This involves the concept of oblique heating. The subject takes an added importance in that higher and higher effective radiated powers are being projected for future HF communication and surveillance systems. The potential for those systems to inadvertently modify the ionosphere, thereby producing self-limiting effects, is a real one that should be investigated, In addition, the vulnerability of HF systems to unwanted effects produced by other, high power transmitters (friend or foe) should be addressed.

2.7. Generation of Ionization Layers Below 90 Km

The use of very high power RF heaters to accelerate electrons to 14-20 eV opens the way for the creation of substantial layers of ionization at altitudes where normally there are very few electrons. This concept already has been the subject of investigations by the Air Force (Geophysics Lab), the Navy (MU), and DARPA. The Air Force, in particular, has carried the concept, termed Artificial Ionospheric Mirror (AIM), to the point of demonstrating its technical viability and proposing a new initiative to conduct proof-of-concepts experiments. The RF heater(s) being considered for AIM are in the 400 MHz-3 GHz range, much higher than the HF frequencies (1.5 MHz-15 MHz) suitable for investigating the other topics discussed in this summary. As such, the DOD program (HAARP) will not be directly involved with AIM-related ionospheric enhancement efforts,

3. IONOSPHERIC ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH POWER RF HEATING

As illustrated in Figure 1, as the HF power delivered to the ionosphere is continuously increased the dissipative process dominating the response of the geophysical environment changes discontinuously, producing a variety of ionospheric effects that require investigation. Those anticipated at very high power levels (but not yet available in the West from existing HF heaters) are especially interesting from the point of view of potential applications for DOD purposes,

3.1. Thresholds of Ionospheric Effects

At very modest HF powers, two RF waves propagating through a common volume of ionosphere will experience cross-modulation, a superposition of the amplitude modulation of one RF wave upon another. At HF effective radiated powers available to the West, measurable bulk electron and ion gas heating is achieved, electromagnetic radiation (at frequencies other than transmitted) is stimulated, and various parametric instabilities are excited in the plasma. These include those which structure the plasma so that it scatters RF energy of a wide range of wavelengths.

Figure 1. Thresholds of Ionospheric Effects as a function of Heater ERP (unavailable)

There is also evidence in the West that at peak power operation parametric instabilities begin to saturate, and at the same time modest amounts of energy begin to go into electron acceleration, resulting in modest levels of electron-impact excited airglow. This suggests that at the highest HF powers available in the West, the instabilities commonly studied are approaching their maximum RF energy dissipative capability, beyond which the plasma processes will "runaway" until the next limiting process is reached. The airglow enhancements strongly suggest that this next process then involves wave-particle interactions and electron acceleration.

The Soviets, operating at higher powers than the West, now have claimed significant stimulated ionization by electron-impact ionization. The claim is that HF energy, via wave-particle interaction, accelerates ionospheric electrons to energies well in excess of 20 electron volts (eV) so that they will ionize neutral atmospheric particles with which they collide. Given that the Soviet HF facilities are several times more powerful than the Western facilities at comparable mid-latitudes, and given that the latter appear to be on a threshold of a new "wave-particle" regime of phenomena, it is believed that the Soviets have crossed that threshold and are exploring a regime of phenomena still unavailable for study or application in the West.

The Max Planck HF facility at Tromso, Norway, possesses power comparable to that of the Soviet high power heaters, yet has never produced airglow enhancements commonly produced by US HF facilities at lower HF power, but at lower latitudes. This is attributed to a present inadequate understanding 'f how to make the auroral latitude ionosphere sustain the conditions required to allow the particle acceleration process to dominate, conditions which are achieved in the (more stable) mid- latitude regions. What is clear, is that at the gigawatt and above effective radiated power energy density deposited in limited regions of the ionosphere can drastically alter its thermal, refractive, scattering, and emission character over a very wide electromagnetic (radio frequency) and optical spectrum, what is needed is the knowledge of how to select desired effects and suppress undesired ones. At present levels of understanding, this can only be done by: identifying and understanding what basic processes are involved, and how they interplay, This can only be done if driven by a strong experimental program steered by tight coupling to the interactive cycle of developing theory-model-experimental test.

[Boomer Chick]

3.2. General Ionospheric Issues

When a high-power HF radio wave reflects in the ionosphere, a variety of instability processes are triggered. At early times (less than 200 ms) following HF turn-on, microinstabilities driven by ponderomotive forces are excited over a large (1-10 km) altitude interval extending downwards from the point of HF reflection to the region of the upper hybrid resonance. However, at very early times (less than 50 ms) and at late times (greater than l0 s) the strongest HF-induced Langmuir turbulence appears to occur in the vicinity of HF reflection. The Langmuir turbulence also gives rise to a population of accelerate electrons. Over time scales op 100's of milliseconds and longer, the microinstabilities must coexist with other instabilities that are either triggered or directly driven by the HF-induced turbulence. Some of these instabilities are believed to be explosive in character. The dissipation of the Langmuir turbulence is thought to give rise to meter-scale irregularities through several different instability routes. Finally, over time scales of tens of seconds and longer, several thermally driven instabilities can be excited which give rise to kilometer-scale ionospheric irregularities. Some of these irregularities are aligned with the geomagnetic field, while others are aligned either along the axis of the HF beam or parallel to the horizontal.

Recently, ionospheric diagnostics of HF modification have evolved to the point where individual instability processes can be examined in detail. Because of improved diagnostic capabilities, it is now clear that the wave-plasma interactions once thought to be rather simple are in fact rather complex. For example, the latest experimental findings at Arecibo Observatory suggest that plasma processes responsible for the excitation of Langmuir turbulence in the ionosphere are fundamentally different from past treatments based on so-called "weak turbulence theory".

This theoretical approach relies on random phase approximations to treat the amplification of linear plasma waves by parametric instabilities. Research in HF ionospheric modification during the period 1970-1986 commonly focused on parametric instabilities to explain observational results. In contrast, there is in increasing evidence that the conventional picture is wrong and that the ionospheric plasma undergoes a highly nonlinear development, culminating in the formation of localized states of strong plasma turbulence. The highly localized state (often referred to as cavitons) consists of high-frequency plasma waves trapped in self- consistent electron density depletions.

It is important to realize that many different instabilities are simultaneously excited in the plasma and that one instability process can greatly influence the development of another. Studies of competition between similar types of instability processes and the interaction between dissimilar wave-plasma interactions are in the earliest stages of development. However, it is clear that the degree to which one instability is excited in the plasma may severely impact a variety of other HF-induced processes through HF-induced pump wave absorption, changes in particle distribution functions, and the disruption op other coherently-driven processes relying on smooth ionospheric electron density gradients. Because the efficiency of many instability processes is dependent on geomagnetic dip angle, the nature of instability competition in the plasma is expected to change with geomagnetic latitude. Indeed, observational results strongly support this notion. consequently, it may be very difficult to extrapolate the observational results obtained at one geomagnetic latitude to another. Moreover, even at one experimental station, physical phenomena excited by a high-power HF wave is strongly dependent upon background ionospheric conditions. A classic illustration of this point may be found in Arecibo observations made when local electron energy dissipation rates are low. In this case, the ionospheric plasma literally overheats due to the absence of effective electron thermal loss processes.

The large (factor of four) enhancement in electron temperature that accompanies this phenomenon gives rise to a class of instability processes that is completely different from others observed under "normal" conditions where the ionospheric thermal balance is not greatly disrupted. At ERPs greater than a gigawatt (greater than 90 dBW), ponderomotive forces are no longer small compared to thermal forces. This may qualitatively change the nature of the instability processes in the ionosphere. Experimental research in this area, however, must wait until such powerful ionospheric heaters are developed.

3.3. High Latitude Ionospheric Issues

Radio wave heating of the ionosphere at mid-latitudes (e.g., Arecibo and Platteville) has occurred under conditions where the background ionosphere (prior to turning on the heater) was fairly laminar, stable, fixed, etc. However, at high latitudes (i.e., auroral latitudes such as HIPAS and Tromso) the background ionosphere is a dynamic entity. Even the location of the aurora and the electrojet are changing as a function of latitude, altitude and local time. Moreover, the background E- and F-region ionosphere may not be laminar on scale sizes less than 20 km and less than 100 km, respectively. Rather, there is the possibility of E- and F- region irregularities (with scale sizes from cms to kms) occurring at various times due to (for example) electrojet driven instabilities in the E-region, and spread F or current driven instabilities in the F-region. High energy particles, e.g., from solar flares, may also lead to D-region structuring. In addition, connection to the magnetosphere via the high conductivity along magnetic field lines can play an important role. The theoretical understanding of high latitude ionospheric heating processes has been improving; however, given the dynamic nature of the high latitude ionosphere, it is important to diagnose the background ionosphere prior to the inception of any heating experiments. This diagnostic capability aids in determining long term statistics, as well as real-time parameters. While such diagnostics have been an integral part of the heating experiments at Arecibo and Tromso, HF heating experiments at HIPAS have been severely hampered by a lack of similar diagnostics.

4. DESIRED HF HEATING FACILITY

In order to address the broad range of issues discussed in the previous sections, a new, unique, HF heating facility is required. An outline of the desired capabilities of such a heater, along with diagnostic needed for addressing these issues are given in Table 2. (Table 2 not available in this document)

[Boomer Chick]

4.1. Heater Characteristics

The goals for the HF heater are very ambitious. In order to have a useful facility at various stages of its development, it is important that the heater be constructed in a modular manner, such that its effective- radiated-power can be increased in an efficient, cost effective manner as resources become available. Other desired HF heater characteristics are outlined below.

Effective-Radiated-Power (ERP)

One gigawatt of effective-radiated-power (90 dBW) represents an important threshold power level, over which significant wave generation and electron acceleration efficiencies can he achieved, and other significant heating effects can be expected. To date, the Soviet Union has built such a powerful HF heater. The highest ERPs achieved by US. facilities is about one-fourth of that. Presently, a heater in Norway, operated by the Max Planck Institute in the Federal Republic of Germany, is being reconfigured to provide 1 gigawatt of ERP at a single HF frequency. The HAARP is to ultimately have a HF heater with an ERP well above 1 gigawatt (on the order of 95-100 dBW); in short, the most powerful facility in the world for conducting ionospheric modification research. In achieving this, the heated area in the F-region should have a minimum diameter of at least 50 km, for diagnostic-measurement purposes.

4.1.2. Frequency Range of Operation

The desired heater would have a frequency range from around 1 MHz to about 15 MHz, thereby allowing a wide range of ionospheric processes to be investigated. This incorporates the electron-gyro frequency and would permit operations under all anticipated ionospheric conditions. Multi-frequency operation using different portions of the antenna array is also a desirable feature. Finally, frequency changing on an order of milliseconds is desirable over the bandwidth of the HF transmitting antenna.

4.3. Scanning Capabilities

A heater that has scanning capabilities is very desirable in order to enlarge the size of heated regions in the ionosphere. Although a scanning range from vertical to very oblique (about 10 degrees above the horizon) would be desirable, engineering considerations will most likely narrow the scanning range to about 45 degrees from the vertical. The capability of rapidly scanning (microseconds time scale) in any direction, is also very desirable.

4.1.4. Modes of Operation

Flexibility in choosing heating modes of operation, including continuous- wave (CW) and pulsed modes, will allow a wider variety of ionospheric modification techniques and issues to be addressed.

4.1.5. Wave polarization

The heater should permit both X and O polarizations to be transmitted, in order to study ionospheric processes over a range of altitudes.

4.1.6. Agility in Changing Heater Parameters

The ability to quickly change heater parameters, such as operating frequency, scan angle and direction, power levels, and modulation is important for addressing such issues as enlarging the size of the modified region in the ionosphere and the development of techniques to insure that the energy densities desired in the ionosphere can be delivered from the heater without self-limiting effects setting-in.

4.2. Heating Diagnostics

In order to understand natural ionospheric processes as well as those induced through active modification of the ionosphere, adequate instrumentation is required to measure a wide range of ionospheric parameters on the appropriate temporal and spatial scales.

4.2.1. Incoherent Scatter Radar Facility

A key diagnostic for these measurements will be an incoherent scatter radar facility to provide the means to monitor such background plasma conditions as electron densities, electron and ion temperatures, and electric fields, all as a function of altitude. In addition, the incoherent scatter radar will provide the means for closely examining the generation of plasma turbulence and the acceleration of electrons to high energies in the ionosphere by HF heating. The incoherent scatter radar facility, envisioned to complement the planned new HF heater, is currently being funded in a separate DOD program, as part of an upgrade at the Poker Flat rocket range, in Alaska.

4.2.2. Other Diagnostics The capability of conducting in situ measurements of the heated region in the ionosphere, via rocket-borne instrumentation, is also very desirable. Other diagnostics to be employed, depending on the specific nature of the HF heating experiments, may include HF receivers for the detection of stimulated electromagnetic emissions from heater induced turbulence in the ionosphere; HF/VHF radars, to determine the amplitudes of short-scale (1-10 m) geomagnetic field-aligned irregularities; optical imagers, to determine the flux and energy spectrum of accelerated electrons and to provide a three-dimensional view of artificially produced airglow in the upper atmosphere: and, scintillation observations, to be used in assessing the impact of HF heating on satellite downlinks and in diagnosing large- scale ionospheric structures.

Background


Each spring, around May, the American ionospheric interactions community holds an annual conference at Santa Fe, New Mexico; to exchange research information, present invited and contributed papers, plan campaigns, and present tutorials. Radio Frequency (RF) heating facilities represented at this conference usually include HAARP, Arecibo, HIPAS, Tromso (Sweden) and SURA (Russia). The National Science Foundation (NSF) sends the proceedings to attendees.
Optical diagnostics have been gaining attention. At the 1999 meeting, the HAARP project described the installation of a new intensified CCD camera that took pictures at the principal auroral wavelengths (777.8, 630.4, 558.1, 530, 486.7, and 428.2. nm). During the March 1999 HAARP campaign, this camera successfully recorded, the first 630 nm glow, due to the 80 MW ERP HAARP facility. Even better results were presented at the 2001 Santa Fe over a range of transmitter frequencies: 4.6, 6.0,6.5,6.6, and 7.4 MHz which were thought to match the plasma frequency. These results were the bases of a formal paper.

This same conference also included an invited paper from Tromso that discussed photographing their RF glows from afar (200 -250 km) with many CCD cameras, for the purpose of making tomographic images. The conference included an excellent tutorial on airglow, which recommended the 557 nm (0.7 second lifetime) line compared to 630 nm line, with its 147-second lifetime. The writer (RFW) presented a poster paper on a new Electron Bombardment CCD camera (EB-CCD) that had been delivered to HIPAS just prior to the March 2000 campaign, but did not record glows due to overcast conditions.
The conference also saw the announcement of a special HAARP Winter Optics campaign around the February 12 (2002) new moon. At this time, HIPAS had its new EB-CCD and an interest in stereo photography, which is simpler than tomography; requiring only two camera taking images of the same object from two different directions, usually 15o, the angle for most acute human depth perception. When viewed stereoscopically one perceives the recorded image three dimensionally. It was known that the Geophysical Institute (GI) of the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) had a second camera, a conventional intensified CCD camera.

Following the call for proposals for the Optics Campaign, Davis Sentman was contacted on the possibility of a joint proposal, which would also let us compare the EB-CCD (no internal phosphor) with a conventional intensified CCD. A joint proposal was submitted, with emphasis on the 557 nm auroral line. . It was agreed that the larger- bulkier GI-UAF camera would remain at Poker Flat, while the smaller lighter EB-CCD would be located near Nenana (Alaska), to record pictures over HAARP differing by ~15o. Airglow observations at Tromso4 have appeared in the literature.

In October, the EB-CCD was set up again at HIPAS (287 km from HAARP) to try again to record airglow during the October 7-24 HAARP campaign. The weather again remained overcast.
Our joint proposal was accepted in November. In January, a cabin was found in the Nenana region where the EB-CCD could be operated. Its location along with the locations of the HAARP, HIPAS, and Poker Flat are summarized in Table I, along with the difference in viewing angles on the ground, at 300km altitude, and the ground distances to HAARP.

This is for those of you who doubt that HAARP and HIPAS arrays, lasers, and radio waves can create or enhance auroral displays. And this was written years ago.

[Boomer Chick]

HAARP Optics Campaign of 2002:

RFW was back at HIPAS on February 4 (Monday) to participate in the campaign, which was already in process having started on 1/31/02 (Thursday evening). The HAARP all sky camera1, 2 had already detected air glows at 630 nm, with the stunning observation that the glows were brightest when the radio frequency power was directed along the earth's magnetic field. There was little emission at 557 nm. The EB-CCD camera started operating on the night of February 5 with a 557 nm dielectric optical filter in front of its 52 mm- f/1.2 lens, which results in a 14o x 14o field of view. Nothing was seen except aurora. There were no 2-inch aperture 630 nm filters at HIPAS. One was quickly ordered through the Internet. It arrived on Friday February 8. In the meantime, the Poker Flat camera was converted to 630 nm. On Saturday night both cameras recorded the HAARP generated glow. The Poker flat camera, with its wider 40o field of view, found the blinking (5 minutes on - 5 minutes off) spot in the sky first. Background stars (Orion's shoulders) were used to guide the EB-CCD via a telephone conversation. On Sunday, the EB-CCD camera was moved to the cabin near Nenana, where the camera was oriented with the aid of an eTrex Summit GPS personal navigator, which shows the direction to a map position. The elevation of the target had to be guessed, but by now was known to be around 250 km above HAARP, which meant an elevation of ~41o from horizontal. Figure 1 shows the ER-CCD camera set up opposite the arctic entry of the Nenana cabin. The camera control unit and recording computer were set up behind the cabin's real entry door, about ten feet away. As seen in the picture, the camera's head had a foam cover which protected it from sub zero temperatures.

Have you found a reference to the area in sq km which glowed?

Jay, the HIPAS site and the HAARP site, both given in the previous linkages.... contain e-mail addresses to ask questions and also more detailed information on the pictures themselves. It's obviously not top secret at this point the fact that they stimulate electrons in the ionesphere and inhance and sometimes create (from what I read) auroras. Most likely enhance them, although that HIPAS article alluded to actual stimulation and creation of a glow.

I thought that with your scientific mind and your combined efforts with Stu and Yaak, you might be able to make scientific sense out of the ionesonde graphs. I found it fascinating. I noticed, also, that the university studies were actually harder to obtain than the HIPAS and HAARP studies.

Did you go to the sites and snoop around a bit? After all this time and all the arguing about Begich and Bertell, I would think actual sites regarding the actual studies and experiments would interest you.

It certainly interests me and I will be visiting and perhaps e-mailing various personnel myself.

I'm sure if you wanted the answer to that question and a verifiable one at that, you would, yourself, ask the proper authorities. I didn't recall actual measurements but in the previous posts they had mentioned the glows and alluded to how they were stimulated.

Peace.

Boomer This Proves That Haarp Can affect The Temperature in the Ionosphere...........and adds to the Problem.......

What Effects Are Produced By HAARP?

A portion of the energy contained in the HF signal transmitted by HAARP can be transferred to existing electrons or ions making up the ionospheric plasma through a process called absorption, thus raising the local effective temperature. As an example, the electron temperature at a height of 275 km (the peak of the F2 region) is over 1400°K. [2]. Work at other active ionospheric research facilities has shown that it is possible to raise this temperature by as much as 30% within a small, localized region during an experiment. The affected region would then temporarily display electrical characteristics different from neighboring regions of the layer. Sensitive scientific instruments on the ground can then be used to study the dynamic physical properties of this region in great detail.

As the electrons (and ions) acquire additional energy, their temperature increases, their kinetic energy increases and they begin to move more rapidly. In the F layer, this increased movement or expansion results in a decrease in the electron density. Experience at other active ionospheric research facilities [3] has shown that electron densities in the small, affected region can be reduced by 10% to 20%. This reduction in electon density is shown in the above chart by the dark green line.

Natural ionization in the F layer may produce an electron and ion density during the daytime of 1,000,000 cm-3, about 0.2% of the total gas present. Active ionospheric research using the HAARP HF transmitter (interacting only with the ionized particles and not the neutral gas) could suppress this electron density in a localized region to 800,000 cm-3. Compare this with the decrease in electron density that occurs naturally through a large portion of the nighttime F region (shown in the blue curve) of 500,000 cm-3 or less and it is clear that active ionospheric heating cannot duplicate what happens naturally, even within the small affected region directly over the facility.

According to some studies, the electron density in the E region may actually increase as a result of active heating because of the suppression of recombination processes. Compare this with the natural depletion that occurs every evening when the electron density in the E-layer falls as much as 200 times to levels of 1,000 cm-3 over almost the whole night hemisphere.

WMM

You realize, WMM, that heating the ioneshere may in no way affect the troposphere? It is so much higher and the areas heated are so small, that I truly doubt, and yet I have no true knowledge, that the heating at that altitude would in any way affect the troposphere as far as temperature. Of course I don't know absolutely, I'm only using my common sense here.

„Angels Don’t Play This HAARP�
-by Jeane Manning & Dr. Nick Begich-


In May of 1988, I wrote an article for the Canadian Intelligence Service
headed „Weather War?�
The preamble written by the editor said this: „Her story, indeed, is
‘stranger than fiction.’ And it’s only the beginning, the first glimpse
of a new and uncertain factor in human affairs, opening up unimagined
physical possibilities - but also threatening our very survival.


Those words were indeed prophetic. Advanced technology based on the
original works of Nikola Tesla is being developed at an alarming rate.
This discoverer of alternating current power source and transmission
system (among other accomplishments was a genius before his time. In
spite of this, his name is unfamiliar to most because soon after his
death in 1943 his data was removed from libraries and his only claim to
fame now is the Tesla Coil. He hoped his discoveries would be used for
peaceful, life-enhancing purposes.


While traveling in Alaska in the summer of 1994, we visited the Copper
Valley area hoping to explore the old mines. A large intimidating sign
blocked all access to this region. I didn’t think too much of it at the
time, however I later learned of a highly secret project being
constructed there and was able to locate a book published in Alaska
discussing the HAARP system, that being an acronym for High-frequency
Active Auroral Research Project.


The authors of „Angels Don’t Play This HAARP� base their information on
documents they were able to view which came out of secret meeting of the
U.S. Government and the U.S. Military.
HAARP is a ground-based „Star Wars� weapon which has the capability to
manipulate the environment in such a way as to change weather patterns,
disrupt global communications systems, disrupt human mental processes,
negatively affect health, and impact the Earth’s upper atmosphere in an
unnatural and damaging way. By interfering with the Earth’s magnetic
field there is no assurance that damage on an irreversible global scale
will not occur.


All participants involved in designing HAARP are part of a giant
partnership of government, the military and many private corporations
which form defense intelligence contractual networks, and it is done in
secret. Critics of the project believe that large groups of independent
scientists should be talking a close look at these developments before
the project is allowed to continue.


A biggest „ionospheric heater� in the world is located on the HAARP
site. Focused energy could be beamed up to the ionosphere „where the
radio-frequency waves would interact powerfully with charged particles
that are always trapped up there.
The heating effect of the focused beam would then dramatically push a
plume - a large section of the ionosphere - up and outward from Earth.�
One critic of the project called it „skybusting.�


The Earth is protected from harmful cosmic rays by the Van Allen
Radiation Belt in conjunction with the Earth’s magnetic field. The
ozone layer protect us from ultra-violet light. If this dual barrier is
weakened, allowing these high-energy particles from the ionosphere to
enter the atmosphere, serve damage could be caused to the DNA blueprints
of all life on Earth. This is only one of the disastrous effects of
which the HAARP system capable.


Co-author Jean Manning, in conversation with a ham operator, learned
that as early as 1975-76 the Soviet Union was beaming radio-frequency
signals toward North America. Ham operators were picking up the
10-hertz (pulses per second) frequencies which they called Woodpecker
signals because of the tapping they heard from extremely low frequency
(ELF) waves. It was speculated that his ELF frequency could resonate
the neurons in the human brain over great distance, resulting in mood
changes in a large part of the population.


These ELF waves could cause communication interference, power failures,
and weather modification designed to have a devastating effect on food
production.


HAARP records disclose that when the project is up to full power, it
will be able to send very low frequency and extra low frequency (VLF and
ELF) waves at energy loveless sufficient to affect entire regional
populations. What other objective can there be but to control people?


What is even more ominous is the authors’ picture of what they refer to
as the „psychocivilized society.� After reviewing HAARP documents and
Air Force materials, the possibility is there for the HAARP transmitting
system to be used „inadvertently or intentionally to after mental
functions.� Early research on the brain was conducted on animals, using
electrodes inserted into the brain to produce different kinds of
behavior. Dr. Jose M.R. Delgado developed his research so that
brain-manipulating effects could be achieved at a distans, and by
changing wave form, could completely change the thinking and emotional
state of the subject. Even these achievements can and are being used to
help people with various mental dysfunctions, but the potential for
abuse appears too easy to resist for the „mad scientists� working on
HAARP.


A European leader in alternative medicine, Dr. Reijo Makela has
developed a technique whereby a patient’s chemistry is rebalanced by
using a combination of low levels of chemicals and the right frequency
from a properly-tuned transmitter.
He has had enormous success in treating debilitating diseases.


However, the military approach can be used for just the opposite
result. A tiny amount of chemical (below generally accepted levels for
toxicity) could be introduced to the enemy by some means (perhaps water
or air supply); then the right frequency could be directed toward them,
activating the otherwise harmless chemicals. This would render the
enemy powerless, and international agreements regarding chemical warfare
would not have been violated.


A radio transmitter carrying a pulsed wave of 6-12 pulses per second,
acting in resonance with the radio waves which serve as a carrier, could
it modulated in just the right way disrupt minds and cause serious
negative health effects on humans and animals. This technology is well
within the capability of HAARP and they intend to use it.


We are now the age of sophisticated electromagnetic technology which
can interfere with the Earth’s magnetic fields all the way up to the
ionosphere. The consequences of such aggressive tampering with our
natural environment are not known, nor to the HAARP designers seem to
care, brushing aside any attempts to develop a regulatory presence.
Frustrating those who are anti-HAARP is the veil of secrecy and
deception which covers the project.


In order to „prepare� the people to accept these mind-bogging advances
in technology, little bits of information are „leaked� out, like a
trial balloon, to test the reaction. However, it seems that basic
strategy and application remain committed to secrecy.


Perhaps the most ominous aspect of the HAARP technology is the
connecting of the military non-lethal research with civilian law
enforcement agencies. This means that law conforcement can use this
technology against the government’s domestic „adversaries� - one can
only surmise who these adversaries might be. We are given a clue in the
policy for non-lethal weapons which states: „The term ‘adversary’ is
used .. in its broadest sense, including those who are not declared
enemies but who are engaged in activities we wish to stop... „Bear in
mind that these weapons are „invisible� - when used to alter thinking
and behavior the victims is unsaware of an „attack.�


The authors provide a brief history of discoveries relating to the
field of electromagnetic, beginning with Tesla’s inventions in 1886 and
ending with HAARP. Since 1994 HAARP has been testing its equipment,
with 1998 being the projected date for a fully-operating system. The
authors also warn us that it is not just the United States citizens who
are in jeopardy - the HAARP system is a universal tool.


As early as 1975, the Canadian government was aware of the use of
weather modification as a weapon. Are they also aware of the expanded
technology of the HAARP system? Since this use of electromagnetics will
affect every one of us in some way, perhaps it would be appropriate to
question your MP.


Will this be the modus operandi to bring in the New World Order?
(Angels Don’t Play This HAARP� - Advances In Tesla Technology, by Jean
Manning and Dr. Nick Begich).


and, what in the HELL could be next.... by HAARP?


-A Volcano eruption?
-Earthquakes?
-A hundred feet high wave?

To say "plasma physics is plasma physics" doesn't express squat, dear brother.

The only indication that fooling with the ionesphere could affect the atmospheric layers below and living things was the unknown of disrupting our protective layers -- ozone and other particles as well as the magnetic fields. If in experimentation parts of the ionesphere are destroyed or literally blown out.... THEN.....

the cosmic rays, the solar winds, the cosmic particles would negatively impact life.

NOTHING in your posted article stated that the present experimentation was HEATING or CHANGING the weather in the lower atmospheric levels. As much as I would like to find the smoking gun, as it were, you have not offered it and I have done a great deal of research.

Did you read in the SuperDARN site, the HIPAS site, and the old HAARP???

In the old HAARP site there are some graphs and tables that are updated.

You present a theory, but really do not provide supporting evidence. We all need to support our suppositions, you know.

ANOMALOUS ATTENUATION OF EXTRAORDINARY WAVES

IN IONOSPHERE HEATING EXPERIMENTS

Introduction

The phenomenon of anomalous attenuation of probe waves at the vertical sounding of the ionospheric volume heated by powerful radio waves is known already for several decades [1]. The study of anomalous attenuation is important for investigation of various processes in ionospheric plasma, such as, for example, generation of randomly irregular structures in ionosphere.

Two possible mechanisms of anomalous attenuation are known. The first one, dealing with ordinary waves only, is based on the transformation into plasma waves due to the scattering on field aligned irregularities with cross-field scales from tens centimeters up to tens meters. Main attention was paid to this mechanism since the beginning of anomalous attenuation investigation.

The second mechanism is caused by small-angle multiple scattering on the kilometer scale irregularities of the electron density. This mechanism was almost beyond the scope of the study of anomalous attenuation, because it was considered to be unimportant and negligibly small in comparison with transformation. However, as it was shown recently [2-7], multiple scattering under conditions of strong ionospheric refraction results in the spatial redistribution of radiation reflected from the ionosphere with considerable decrease of its intensity in the vicinity of sounding station. This decrease, which can be considered also as anomalous attenuation, is observed for waves of both ordinary and extraordinary polarizations and may achieve the value of 10 dB or more. The theoretical relations connecting the magnitude of anomalous attenuation with the parameters of irregularity spatial spectrum allow one to use the measurements of anomalous attenuation for the purpose of diagnostics of irregularities spectra.

The importance of small-angle multiple scattering is proofed by few experiments (see, for example, [8]). The measurements of anomalous attenuation of extraordinary waves at the vertical sounding of the ionospheric volume heated by powerful radio waves indicates considerable attenuation, which can not be explained by the transformation into plasmic waves, possible only for the waves of ordinary polarization.

New experimental data was obtained in series of measurements of anomalous attenuation of extraordinary waves fulfilled at the heating facility "Sura" (N. Novgorod, Russia) in September, 1999. The data obtained and its processing is discussed in the Section 1 of the paper. The method of calculation of anomalous attenuation and determination of irregularities level is described in Section 2. The results of calculations are discussed in the third section of the paper.

1. Experimental data on anomalous attenuation of extraordinary waves

Experiments were carried out at 6 and 7 of September, 1999. In measurements done at 6th of September high-power HF wave of ordinary polarization was used for the heating of ionospheric plasma, while at 7th of september the extraordinary heating wave was used. Though these experiments were aimed directly on study of anomalous attenuation of extraordinary waves, the possibility to obtain necessary data was limited by the abilities of existing experimental tools and devices. For example, it was not possible to measure anomalous attenuation both for extraordinary and ordinary waves, the attenuation, caused by scattering from natural "background" ( i.e. existing before the heating of ionosphere) irregularities, was unknown. However, the data is valuable and useful to obtain several interesting results.

The primary data sets (records of amplitude for seven frequencies ) are shown at Fig. 1 (September, 6) and Fig.2 (September, 7). Each data set was averaged over the heating cycles. All data set for 6th of September was used for averaging except two cycles at the top frequency (left top panel). One frequency was removed from data set for 7th of September (fourth panel at right). For the most frequencies the averaging was performed over 9 first cycles (up to the transition of pump wave over the critical frequency), for the top frequency 5 heating cycles were used. The data sets for heating waves are shown at Fig. 3. Averaged data for 6th of September and 7th of September is shown at Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 correspondingly. Parameters of regular ionospheric profile were obtained from ionograms shown at Fig. 6 (6th of September) and 7 (7th of September). Calculated -profiles are presented at Fig. 8.

The method of determination of anomalous attenuation for 6th of September is illustrated by the Fig. 9. The averaged curves were divided into 4 different parts and the fitting was applied for each of them independently. Linear fits were used to determine saturated amplitudes before and after the beginning of the heating. Exponential fits are useful to estimate the development and relaxation times of the phenomena. The same fitting for 7th of September is shown at Fig. 10.

The dependencies of anomalous attenuation, development time and relaxation time on frequency of the probe wave obtained by the described method are presented at Fig. 11 – Fig. 13. It must be noted, that we determine relative attenuation of wave amplitude , i.e. the ratio of amplitude before the beginning of the heating to the amplitude after the beginning of the heating calculated in decibels as . Background attenuation is unknown.

You're still reading into things. Attenuation is a kind of affectation and disturbance.

From the article:

1) ten to ten meters of plasma from regular waves -- well known and studied

2) electron density changes in the kilometer range and almost too small to be significant or measurable

Now, Shawn, there is no indication in the article that the attenuation described has affected the larger weather systems or the layers beneath the ionesphere.

I agree that the experiments may compromise the ionespheric integrity, but this article does not support your statement.

Global Weather Control System: Flurry of News Stories Just Released
October 2004
By Toni Thayer

Envision this -- a plan by a private group of universities and colleges to control the global weather on command, supposedly, only for the benefit of mankind. Does this sound too farfetched to believe? Well, start believing, because it is here today, and the future is now.

A flurry of magazine and news articles cropped up in October on Dr. Ross N. Hoffman's vision to design and implement a central command post for the world's weather control activities. His vision is "within the next 30 years there will be a Global Weather Control System that could influence the weather through the use of contrails (condensed water vapor produced at high altitudes by aircraft), a fleet of solar reflectors orbiting the Earth, wind turbines and microwave energy from satellites," so says an article by Explorations TV, BBC Worldwide. http://www.explorations.tv/human_6.html

Hoffman seems to have the credentials to fulfill his dream with an undergraduate geology degree from Brown University, a master degree in mathematics from Boston University, and a Ph.D. in meteorology from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After graduation, he was employed at the Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheric Sciences, and he's also served on the National Research Council Committee on the Status and Future Directions in U.S. Weather Modification Research and Operations.

Today, Hoffman works for Atmospheric Environmental Research, Inc. (AER), a research and development firm in Lexington, Massachusetts. Some of their clients are the U.S. Dept. of Defense, Dept. of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency, and private industry leaders of Boeing Satellite Systems, Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp., Allied Signal, American Petroleum Institute, Dupont and American Chemistry Council. http://www.aer.com/home/home/html

"Objective analysis and assimilation methods, atmospheric dynamics, climate theory and atmospheric radiation" are Hoffman's primary interests. He's also been involved in Rapid Climate Change (RAPID), "a $20 million, six-year (2001-2007) programme of the Natural Environment Research Council" from the United Kingdom.

The October articles released on Hoffman center around his recent project for the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC), "Controlling the Global Weather". The NIAC is an arm of the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit incorporated in the District of Columbia in 1969 "under the auspices of the National Academy of Sciences." http://www.niac.usra.edu

The USRA website lists 95 institutional members in 2004, all colleges and universities with "graduate programs in space sciences or aerospace engineering" with 88 members from the United States, two from Canada, three from Europe, and two from Israel. The group's charter is "grand, revolutionary concepts for architectures and systems." http://www.usra.edu/hq/ur/coi.html

NIAC contracted with Hoffman to design a weather controller, "a feedback control system to control the global atmosphere, and the components of such a system . . . providing a scientific basis and system architecture to actually implement global weather control."

Presumably, the need for such a system stems from the chaos theory on the Earth's atmosphere, a view held by many scientists. "A chaotic system is one that appears to behave randomly, but is, in fact, governed by rules. It is also highly sensitive to initial conditions, so that seemingly insignificant, arbitrary inputs can have profound effects that lead quickly to unpredictable consequences," according to Hoffman in his October 2004 article in Scientific American, Controlling Hurricanes.
http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa006&colID=1&articleID=000593AE-704B-1151-B57F83414B7F0000

This chaotic behavior of the atmosphere is exactly what enables it to be controlled. "It is the very instability of the atmosphere's dynamics that makes global weather control a possibility. Extreme sensitivity to initial conditions implies that small perturbations to the atmosphere can effectively control the evolution of the atmosphere, if the atmosphere is observed and modeled sufficiently well," Hoffman explains in the NIAC contract award.
http://www.niac.usra.edu/files/studies/abstract/589Hoffman.html

In an October 2004 Red Cross Disaster Relief article by Christina Ward, Controlling the Weather: Disaster Prevention of the Future?, Hoffman goes more in-depth, "Humans could theoretically create small changes in the atmosphere, and these changes could make big differences in the behavior of weather systems. . . The implications would be major . . . Just imagine: no droughts, no tornadoes, no snowstorms during rush hour . . . Could we control the path of a hurricane to prevent it from striking the most populated coastal areas? If we could, should we?" http://www.disasterrelief.org/Disasters/020228influence/

Although many weather control projects by numerous countries have been performed and documented, the early experiments in the 1960s focused on "cloud seeding techniques – then the only practical way to try to affect the weather . . . with silver iodide particles dispersed by aircraft."

Hoffman's goal is different because it coordinates the Global Weather Control System into one network and uses sci-fi techniques. An "array of earth-orbiting solar power stations" would beam the Sun's energy to Earth via "microwave receivers on the ground" to generate the huge amount of energy that's required to change the global weather.

"For weather control, however, tuning the microwave downlink to frequencies better absorbed by water vapor could heat different levels in the atmosphere as desired." Hoffman notes, "Raindrops strongly absorb microwaves . . ."

To begin the process of making alterations to the Earth's climate, Hoffman recommends changing some everyday activities, "such as directing aircraft flight plans to precisely position contrails and thus increase cloud cover or varying crop irrigation practices to enhance or decrease evaporation."

He identified "some tools" still needed before it can be fully operational: 1) worldwide weather data collecting, 2) better numerical models portraying the physics of the universe, and 3) more developed computer power.

NASA seems to have additional interests in the project other than just weather control, although, not all of these were identified in the news stories, "Many of the technologies involved in our proposed system are areas of interest to NASA that will be developed for other reasons. These include atmospheric science, remote sensing, aviation systems, fleets of low-cost satellites, solar power satellites, advanced computational systems, mega-systems engineering, and more."

Hoffman admits the downside of weather control, "The nation that controls its own weather will perforce control the weather of other nations. Weather 'wars' are conceivable. An international treaty may be required to ensure that weather control technology be used for the good of all." He says with success, "larger-scale weather control using space-based heating may become a reasonable goal that nations around the globe could agree to pursue."

The Global Weather Control System appears to be the first step by a self-appointed group of scientists to assimilate a master global plan for manipulating the Earth's natural processes. Do they really have adequate fore knowledge to take on such an ambitious project for the entire planet? Can the Earth's inhabitants always count on their morals, standards and actions to work in their best interests? Isn't it downright ludicrous to play with Earth's interconnected systems of humans, wildlife, plants, and atmosphere? In other words, who made these people God?

[halva]

Good questions, but given that they already seem to have embarked on the task of playing God, with or without God's permission, it is only other humans that can control them and their activities, or attempt to.

3) Haderer's book is a picture book and the best pictures are from www.airliners.net

4) He shows total 205 references, 148 from internet websites.

5) Finally he admits:

Chemtrails, a nice theory but the "proof of the pudding" is missing.
To resolve the chemtrail phenomenon one must investigate intensively.

Methods of Artificial Weather Manipulation(AWM) help agriculture, devastate the enemy and control the world economy
Staff Reporter
Mar. 27, 2005






Scientists, Weather Engineers and Space Specialists are working towards something that can change human civilization forever! It is the methods of artificial weather modification.

The process when perfected, can help in agriculture, getting rid of droughts, floods and avoid cyclones and typhoons.

It is also the process by which the enemy can be devastated, artificial floods, cyclones and typhoons created.

It can allow controlling the world economy and agricultural commodity markets.

In ancient religions and legends, weather control, creation of cyclone, rain, flood, drought were nothing new. In the modern age the Scientists and technologists are busy perfecting the weather control sciences. It is shaping up as the most vibrant area of research and development.

Many countries are mastering the science of weather control. As a matter of fact many experts predict that a war game is being played by major powers in the world to demonstrate their capabilities of weather control. Most of these initiatives are classified and shoved off from the public. The only way one can track these initiatives is to look at countries taking actions to shield against weather control experiments.

Recently, scientists and engineers have started unveiling the actual methods of weather control. Some primitive methods like Cloud-top seeding can confuse you and point you to a wrong direction. Cloud-top seeding is usually performed between the temperatures of -5°C and -10°C. The greatest amount of super-cooled liquid water is usually found within this range. This corresponds to an altitude range of 15,000 to 22,000 ft depending upon location. Dropping or ejecting silver iodide flares into the growing cloud turrets dispenses seeding agent. The seeding agent is placed into the super-cooled clouds where nucleation is desired, so the updrafts in these cases are relied upon only to provide a continuing source of condensate. This delivery technique requires less anticipation on the part of those directing the seeding operations and may have a more immediate effect.

The more modern methods involve artificial ionization of earth’s atmosphere between 15,000 and 30,000 ft. and above. Manipulating the ionosphere and use of controlled solar-terrestrial interactions can create much larger effects. Scientists are realizing that the earth’s weather is controlled by Sun's natural Electromagnetic Radiation reaching the earth. The Sun’s Radiations and Ultraviolet Rays have to cross the ionosphere to reach the earth.

There are early indications that the solar radiations and flares are directly responsible for planetary weather changes. And Solar flares and levels of radiations are caused by bombardment of cosmic rays on the Sun from either a distant massive black hole or a star-cluster caused by the collapse of thousands and thousands of stars in a small space.

Computer models obviously focused on the ionosphere, which acts as a filter for the solar radiations to reach the earth. If one can manipulate and control the filter, it becomes a potential source of massive weather modification. That is what the computer simulation models found. Controlling the ionosphere potentially allows weather control. The algorithmic variation of ionosphere can create the magic in a massive scale.

There are many methods of controlling the ionosphere. It is the process of artificially manipulating ion density in the ionosphere. High power transmitter and antenna array operating in the HF(High Frequency) range is one of the methods. There are lots of literature on that in the Internet and declassified scientific research journals.

However, the recent trend is in using super conductors in space satellites to generate intense high intensity electromagnetic flux.

Look Sieghole, you're just here to make trouble. Piss off. We've had enough of people like you here.

You make inaccurate statements, e.g. about Haderer filling his book up with pictures from 'Airliners', when about half a dozen of 180 pictures are in this category.

And in any case, even if your statements were accurate they are of no interest because the only purpose of your presence here is to fill in for Reynolds as he goes through a difficult period.

The fact remains that you are here for no other purpose than to 'prove' that nothing is happening when everyone with eyes can see that something is happening.

You are not interested in participating in a collective effort to make our governments accountable and to ensure that if geoengineering has to be continued as a stopgap measure against climate change that it be done with full transparency and phased out absolutely as soon as possible.

And that any other more sinister programmes 'piggybacking' on the climate mitigation programme be stopped.

In other words you serve no useful purpose and are NOT NEEDED.

Is it the weather or government terror?

October 22, 2005—Government manipulation of weather for terror and destruction is one pattern your local weatherman is surely not pointing out. So let me help with the forecast, past, present and long-range.

Starting on December 26, 2004, you had the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, an undersea earthquake that generated a tsunami that killed approximately 275,000 people. As the linked article reports, the magnitude of the Indian Ocean quake now stands at 9.15, making it one of the most deadly and frightening in history. From the third paragraph, come some hair-raising facts . . .

In May, scientists reported that the earthquake itself lasted nearly ten minutes when most major earthquakes last no more than a few seconds; it caused the entire planet to vibrate at least a few centimetres. It also triggered earthquakes elsewhere, as far away as Alaska.

The section on "Tectonic Plates" gives two more earth-shaking pieces of information . . .

. . . Seismographic and acoustic data indicate that the first phase involved the formation of a rupture about . . . 250 mi . . . long and . . . 60 mi wide, located . . . 19 mi . . . beneath the sea bed - the longest known rupture ever known to have been caused by an earthquake (italics mine) . . .
As well as the sideways movement between the plates, the sea bed is estimated to have risen by several metres, displacing an estimated . . . 7 cu mi . . . of water and triggering devastating tsunami waves. The waves did not originate from a point source, as mistakenly depicted in some illustrations of their spread, but radiated outwards along the entire . . . 750 mi . . . length of the rupture. This greatly increased the geographical area over which the waves were observed, reaching as far as Mexico, Chile and the Arctic. The raising of the sea bed significantly reduced the capacity of the Indian Ocean, producing a permanent rise in the global sea level by an estimated 0.1 mm.
Stated more simply, these facts point to an extraordinary amount of energy expended to produce extraordinary events, including a permanent rise in sea level. From the "Power of the earthquake" section, there are more unsettling statistics . . .

The total energy released by the earthquake in the Indian Ocean . . . is equivalent to 100 gigatons of TNT, or about as much energy as is used in the United States in 6 months. It is estimated to have resulted in an oscillation of the Earth's surface of about 20–30 cm (8 to 12 in), equivalent to the effect of the tidal forces caused by the Sun and Moon. The shock waves of the earthquake were felt across the planet; as far away as Oklahoma, vertical movements of 3 mm (0.12 in) were recorded. The entire Earth's surface is estimated to have moved vertically by up to 1 cm (italics mine).
. . . It also caused the Earth to minutely "wobble" on its axis by up to 2.5 cm (1 in) . . . or perhaps by up to 5 or 6 cm (2.0 to 2.4 in). . . .
Simply stated, here we have an event that expends so much energy it literally shortens the day, causes the earth to wobble and its surface to raise.

What's more, on March 28, we have another earthquake in the area of Northern Sumatra and Indonesia. According to the National Earthquake Information Center, U.S. Geological Survey, it weighs in at 8.7. Add to that, a total of six Major Earthquakes around the World in 2005 , all over a magnitude of 7.0, not counting the one in Islamabad in Pakistan, which we'll deal with in a moment.

Additionally, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution issues a news release last Jan. 13. titled "Major Caribbean Earthquakes and Tsunamis a Real Risk—Events rare, but scientists call for public awareness, warning system" . . . Paragraphs two tells us . . .

In a new study published December 24, 2004 in the Journal of Geophysical Research from the American Geophysical Union, geologists Uri ten Brink of the U.S. Geological Survey in Woods Hole and Jian Lin of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) report a heightened earthquake risk of the Septentrional fault zone, which cuts through the highly populated region of the Cibao valley in the Dominican Republic. In addition, they caution, the geologically active offshore Puerto Rico and Hispaniola trenches are capable of producing earthquakes of magnitude 7.5 and higher. The Indonesian earthquake on December 26, which generated a tsunami that killed (to date), an estimated 150,000 people, came from a fault of similar structure, but was a magnitude 9.0, much larger than the recorded quakes near the Puerto Rico Trench.
So, around the world, we seem to be having a wave of major earthquakes. In fact, let's return to Islamabad's catastrophe, as reported in the New York Times, Pakistan Quake Rocks South Asia; Over 18,000 Killed.

We find that the quake centered in the Hindu Kush Mountains of Pakistan, emitting tremors all across South Asia, actually killing more than 25,000 people. The quake weighed in at 7.6. Its epicenter, some 60 miles north of Pakistani's capital, caused some 20 "significant aftershocks" measuring between 5 and 6.2 magnitude. The tremors went as far east as New Delhi, the Indian capital, west to Kabul, Afghanistan's capital, the "biggest shock and awe to strike the country in a century," besides of course the US Military, and in some ways even more potent.

That brings me to my central concern of government involvement. That involvement covers also the recent spate of hurricanes, including the most disastrous Katrina, which has now drowned an entire American city, which itself looks like one of those ravaged third world cities which are part of or are near political hotspots . . .

Hurricane Katrina was the eleventh named tropical storm, fourth hurricane, third major hurricane, and first Category 5 hurricane of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. It first made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane just north of Miami, Florida on August 25, 2005, then again on August 29 along the Central Gulf Coast near New Orleans, Louisiana, as a Category 4 storm. Katrina resulted in breaches of the levee system that protected New Orleans from Lake Pontchartrain, and most of the city was subsequently flooded by the lake's waters. This and other major damage to the coastal regions of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama made Katrina the most destructive and costliest natural disaster in the history of the United States.
I suppose one could simply say Katrina was a matter of criminal negligence or an advanced case of political sleep-walking. Yet I include it in this larger picture of world environmental terror because terror is the feeling it instilled, especially given the human, physical and economic destruction. I submit as well the Guatemala Storm that swept through Central America on October 9, reported in the LA Times. Alex Renderos and Reed Johnson write . . .

GUATEMALA CITY—Rescue workers pulled bodies Saturday from Guatemalan villages devastated by mudslides, and other volunteers used hand tools, machetes and their bare hands to dig for more victims as the aftermath of Hurricane Stan continued to wreak havoc across northern Central America.
Guatemalan officials said 508 people had been killed and 337 others were missing in the country as a result of flooding and mudslides caused by the hurricane that roared across the region last week. More than 100 other deaths have been reported in Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
If all these examples still seem like a matter of happenstance, let me offer up this quote from Michel Chossudovsky in his Second Edition of America's "War on Terrorism," published by Global Research, 2005, page 95 . . .

continued........

[whitemajikman]

"Since September 11, 2001, billions of dollars have been channeled towards developing new advanced weapons systems . . .
"The Strategic Defense Initiative ('Star Wars') not only includes the controversial "Missile Shield" . . . [but] instruments of weather and climatic warfare under the High Altitude Research Program (HAARP). The latter has the ability of destabilizing entire national economies through climatic manipulations, without the knowledge of the enemy, at minimal cost and without engaging military personnel and equipment as in a conventional war."
Chossudovsky is not alone in this sobering statement of fact.

US Weapons of Meteorological Mass Destruction

Dan Eden in an article, titled Weapons of Mass Destruction, talked about the HAARP facility located in Gakuna, Alaska, where patents bought from inventor Dr. Bernard Eastlund by huge defense contractor Raytheon are being experimented with, and used conceivably against world populations.

The HAARP Program is a US Air Force, Navy and University of Alaska funded investigation to "understand, simulate and control ionospheric processes that might alter the performance of communication and surveillance systems" as well as weather systems and those which actually can modify human behavior. The HAARP program was started in 1993 for a proposed twenty year series of experiments. Two paragraphs from Eden's article give you an idea of the forces being played with . . .

To date, there have been eleven other patents derived from Eastlund's original work. These patents describe the reflective alterations of the ionosphere for such uses as "nuclear scale explosions without radiation," "power-beaming systems," "over-the-horizon radar systems," and "nuclear missile detection and destruction systems." Further, the patents are now owned by Raytheon, a long-standing defense contractor, and can now be combined with other military patents and used for battlefield applications . . .
[They have the] " . . . ability to put unprecedented amounts of power in Earth's atmosphere at strategic locations and to maintain the power injection level particularly if random pulsing is employed, in a manner far more precise and better controlled than heretofore accomplished by the prior art, particularly by detonation of nuclear devices of various yields at various altitudes . . ."
A critical summary on Harp.Net of Dr. Nick Begich and Jeane Manning's book, Angelﾒs Donﾒt Play This HAARP tells us, "Eastlund's patents were originally controlled by ARCO Power Technologies Incorporated (APTI), a subsidiary of Atlantic Richfield Company, one of the biggest oil companies in the world. APTI was the contractor that built the HAARP facility. ARCO sold this subsidiary, the patents and the second phase construction contract to E-Systems in June 1994.

"E-Systems is one of the biggest intelligence contractors in the world–doing work for the CIA, defense intelligence organizations and others. And 1.8 billion of their annual sales are to these organizations, with $800 million for black projects–projects so secret that even the United States Congress isn't told how the money is being spent.

"E-Systems was bought out by Raytheon, again one of the largest defense contractors in the world. . . . The twelve patents . . . are the backbone of the HAARP project and are now buried among thousands of others held in the name of Raytheon . . ."

A statement I find most relevant in this HAARP report is . . .

Weather modification is possible by, for example, altering upper atmosphere wind patterns by constructing one or more plumes of atmospheric particles which will act as a lens or focusing device.
. . . Molecular modifications of the atmosphere can take place so that . . . environmental effects can be achieved. Besides actually changing the molecular composition of an atmospheric region, a particular molecule or molecules can be chosen for increased presence. For example, ozone, nitrogen, etc., concentrations in the atmosphere could be artificially increased.
Remembering that this work began in 1994, consider these statements from the article . . .

"Begich and Manning brought to light government documents indicating that the military has weather-control technology. When HAARP is eventually built to its full power level, it could create weather effects over entire hemispheres. If one government experiments with the world's weather patterns, what is done in one place will impact everyone else on the planet. Angels Don't Play This HAARP explains a principle behind some of Nikola Tesla's inventions—resonance—which affect planetary systems."
Nikola Tesla (1865ﾗ1943), the so called "mad genius" or "wild man" of electronics was convinced he could develop enough electric power "to split the earth like an apple." Experimenting for a wealthy employer in the electric business in Colorado Springs, Tesla managed to black out the entire city and set the power generator on fire. The roar was heard for more than ten miles. Yet he moved on to bigger and more successful ideas, like missiles, particle beam weaponry, satellites, nuclear fission, and robots at the turn of the 20th century.

continued...........

[whitemajikman]

Dr. Bernard Eastland based his work on Tesla's principles as Begich and Manning discovered. Their observations are related in the Angels' article, in the section called "Weather Control" . . .

Avalanches of energy dislodged by such radio waves could hit us hard. Their work suggests that technicians could control global weather by sending relatively small 'signals' into the Van Allen belts (radiation belts around Earth). Thus Tesla's resonance effects can control enormous energies by tiny triggering signals.
The Begich/ Manning book asks whether that knowledge will be used by war-oriented or biosphere-oriented scientists.

The military has had about twenty years to work on weather warfare methods, which it euphemistically calls weather modification. For example, rainmaking technology was taken for a few test rides in Vietnam. The U.S. Department of Defense sampled lightning and hurricane manipulation studies in Project Skyfire and Project Stormfury. And they looked at some complicated technologies that would give big effects.
Angels Don't Play This HAARP cites an expert who says the military studied both lasers and chemicals which they figured could damage the ozone layer over an enemy. Looking at ways to cause earthquakes, as well as to detect them, was part of the project named Prime Argus, decades ago. The money for that came from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA, now under the acronym ARPA.) In 1994 the Air Force revealed its Spacecast 2020 master plan which includes weather control. Scientists have experimented with weather control since the 1940's, but Spacecast 2020 noted that "using environmental modification techniques to destroy, damage or injure another state are prohibited." Having said that, the Air Force claimed that advances in technology "compels a reexamination of this sensitive and potentially risky topic."
Lest you think only Chossudovsky, Eden or Begich and Manning are concerned with HAARP and weather control, consider scientist Dr. Rosalie Bertell, writing in her Background of the HAARP Project:

Poker Flat Rocket Launch (1968 to Present)
The Poker Flat Research Range is located about 50 km North of Fairbanks, Alaska, and it was established in 1968. It is operated by the Geophysical Institute with the University of Alaska Fairbanks, under NASA contract. About 250 major rocket launches have taken place from this site, and in 1994, a 16-meter long rocket was launched to help NASA "understand chemical reactions in the atmosphere associated with global climate change."
Similar experiments, but using Chemical Release Modules (CRM), have been launched from Churchill, Manitoba. In 1980, Brian Whelan's "Project Waterhole" disrupted an aurora borealis, bringing it to a temporary halt. In February 1983, the chemical released into the ionosphere caused an aurora borealis over Churchill. In March 1989, two Black Brant X's and two Nike Orion rockets were launched over Canada, releasing barium at high altitudes and creating artificial clouds. These Churchill artificial clouds were observed from as far away as Los Alamos, New Mexico.
If that sounds like a future you don't want on your doorstep today, consider the opening paragraphs of Dr. Nick Begich's Star Wars, Star Trek and Killing Politely, linked here in full . . .

Over the last several years Earthpulse has been investigating the latest developments in technology. We explore subjects related to improving the human condition and expose projects which we believe are risky and unnecessary. This essay is about some of the science being developed and contemplated by military planners and others which could profoundly affect our lives. The intent of this essay is to focus discussion on these new systems by bringing them into the light of day.
Is it possible to trigger earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or weather changes by man-made activities? Is it possible to create and direct balls of energy at lightning speeds, to destroy an enemy? Is it possible to manipulate the behavior, and even the memories, of people using specialized technologies? The United States military and others believe that this is the case. Many of these systems are well on their way to being used in the battlefield.
If you believe, as I and others do, that we've gone past the realm of probability into the realm of a dangerous reality, especially given the frequency of catastrophic events, isn't it time to send our own beam of energy to the US government, and demand a full investigation into the activities of HAARP, in particular the manipulation of hurricanes and earthquakes? This kind of activity is another form of terror we live with, because it seems like it can strike anywhere, anytime, in the guise of natural event.

Perhaps it is just Mother Nature kicking up her heels, perhaps not. In either case, a return to reality is called for in these surreal days. The simple presence of HAARP is a form of psychological terror, threatening not just the weather, but the well-being of man and survival of the planet. And that's something you'll never hear from your media weatherman.

Hey? Everyone still on the trail of truth? Welcome newcomers!


I found this link to DARPA interesting and recommend if you're curious about what Begich is saying of late, go to coasttocoastam.com and listen to his interview with Art Bell this past week. Click on "past shows" and find the write-up and associated links.

This DARPA link of their latest tech.seminar in California, might give us a clue as to their goals and ongoing projects.

http://www.darpa.mil/darpatech2005/proceed.htm

Begich said most of the newer HAARP activities grow from DARPA, now.

Interesting conversation here. Hmmm.

DARPA - quite the versatile entity, aren't they?

U.S. Military Wants to Own the Weather
Leonard David
Senior Space Writer

http://space.com/scienceastronomy/051031_mystery_monday.html

The one-two hurricane punch from Katrina and Wilma along with predictions of more severe weather in the future has scientists pondering ways to save lives, protect property and possibly even control the weather.

While efforts to tame storms have so far been clouded by failure, some researchers aren't willing to give up the fight. And even if changing the weather proves overly challenging, residents and disaster officials can do a better job planning and reacting.

In fact, military officials and weather modification experts could be on the verge of joining forces to better gauge, react to, and possibly nullify future hostile forces churned out by Mother Nature.

While some consider the idea farfetched, some military tacticians have already pondered ways to turn weather into a weapon.

Harbinger of things to come?

The U.S. military reaction in the wake of Hurricane Katrina that slammed the U.S. Gulf coast might be viewed as a harbinger of things to come. While in this case it was joint air and space operations to deal with after-the-fact problems, perhaps the foundation for how to fend off disastrous weather may also be forming.

Numbers of spaceborne assets were tapped, among them:

-- Navigation and timing signals from the Global Positioning System (GPS) of satellites;
-- The Global Broadcast Service, a one-way, space-based, high-capacity broadcast communication system;
-- The Army's Spectral Operations Resource Center to exploit commercial remote sensing satellite imagery and prepare high-resolution images to civilian and military responders to permit a better understanding of the devastated terrain;
-- U.S. Air Force Space Command's Space and Missile Systems Center Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites that compared "lights at night" images before and after the disaster to provide data on human activity.

Is it far-fetched to see in this response the embryonic stages of an integrated military/civilian weather reaction and control system?

Mandate to continually improve

The use of space-based equipment to assist in clean-up operations -- with a look toward future prospects -- was recently noted by General Lance Lord, Commander, Air Force Space Command at an October 20th Pacific Space Leadership Forum in Hawaii.

"We saw first hand the common need for space after the December 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean," Lord said. "Natural disasters don't respect international boundaries. Space capabilities were leveraged immediately after the tsunami to help in the search and rescue effortÅ*but what about before the disaster?"

Lord said that an even better situation is to have predicted the coming disaster and warned those in harm's way. "No matter what your flag or where you waive it from...the possibility of saving hundreds of thousands of people is a mandate to continually improve," he advised.

The U.S. Air Force is also looking at ways to make satellites and satellite launches cheaper and also reduce the amount of time it takes to launch into space from months to weeks to days and hours, Lord said. Having that capability will increase responsiveness to international needs, he said, such as the ability to send up a satellite to help collect information and enhance communications when dealing with international disasters.

Thunderbolts on demand

What would a military strategist gain in having an "on-switch" to the weather?

Clearly, it offers the ability to degrade the effectiveness of enemy forces. That could come from flooding an opponent's encampment or airfield to generating downright downpours that disrupt enemy troop comfort levels. On the flipside, sparking a drought that cuts off fresh water can stir up morale problems for warfighting foes.

Even fooling around with fog and clouds can deny or create concealment - whichever weather manipulation does the needed job.

In this regard, nanotechnology could be utilized to create clouds of tiny smart particles. Atmospherically buoyant, these ultra-small computer particles could navigate themselves to block optical sensors. Alternatively, they might be used to provide an atmospheric electrical potential difference -- a way to precisely aim and time lightning strikes over the enemy's head - thereby concoct thunderbolts on demand.

Perhaps that's too far out for some. But some blue sky thinkers have already looked into these and other scenarios in "Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025" - a research paper written by a seven person team of military officers and presented in 1996 as part of a larger study dubbed Air Force 2025.....

Global stresses

That report came with requisite disclaimers, such as the views expressed were those of the authors and didn’t reflect the official policy or position of the United States Air Force, Department of Defense, or the United States government. Furthermore, the report was flagged as containing fictional representations of future situations and scenarios.

On the other hand, Air Force 2025 was a study that complied with a directive from the chief of staff of the Air Force "to examine the concepts, capabilities, and technologies the United States will require to remain the dominant air and space force in the future."

"Current technologies that will mature over the next 30 years will offer anyone who has the necessary resources the ability to modify weather patterns and their corresponding effects, at least on the local scale," the authors of the report explained. "Current demographic, economic, and environmental trends will create global stresses that provide the impetus necessary for many countries or groups to turn this weather-modification ability into a capability."

Pulling it all together

The report on weather-altering ideas underscored the capacity to harness such power in the not too distant future.

"Assuming that in 2025 our national security strategy includes weather-modification, its use in our national military strategy will naturally follow. Besides the significant benefits an operational capability would provide, another motivation to pursue weather-modification is to deter and counter potential adversaries," the report stated. "The technology is there, waiting for us to pull it all together," the authors noted.

In 2025, the report summarized, U.S. aerospace forces can "own the weather" by capitalizing on emerging technologies and focusing development of those technologies to war-fighting applications.

"Such a capability offers the war fighter tools to shape the battlespace in ways never before possible. It provides opportunities to impact operations across the full spectrum of conflict and is pertinent to all possible futures," the report concluded.

But if whipping up weather can be part of a warfighter’s tool kit, couldn’t those talents be utilized to retarget or neutralize life, limb and property-destroying storms?

All-weather worries

"It is time to provide funds for application of the scientific method to weather modification and control," said Bernard Eastlund, chief technical officer and founder of Eastlund Scientific Enterprises Corporation in San Diego, California.

Eastlund’s background is in plasma physics and commercial applications of microwave plasmas. At a lecture early this month at Penn State Lehigh Campus in Fogelsville, Pennsylvania, he outlined new concepts for electromagnetic wave interactions with the atmosphere that, among a range of jobs, could be applied to weather modification research.

"The technology of artificial ionospheric heating could be as important for weather modification research as accelerators have been for particle physics," Eastlund explained.

In September, Eastland filed a patent on a way to create artificial ionized plasma patterns with megawatts of power using inexpensive microwave power sources. This all-weather technique, he noted, can be used to heat specific regions of the atmosphere.

Eastlund’s research is tuned to artificial generation of acoustic and gravitational waves in the atmosphere. The heating of steering winds to help shove around mesocyclones and hurricanes, as well as controlling electrical conductivity of the atmosphere is also on his investigative agenda.

Carefully tailored program plan

Eastlund said that the reduction in severity or impact of severe weather could be demonstrated as part of a carefully tailored program plan.

"In my opinion, the new technology for use of artificial plasma layers in the atmosphere: as heater elements to modify steering winds, as a modifier of electrostatic potential to influence lightning distribution, and for generation of acoustic and gravitational waves, could ultimately provide a core technology for a science of severe weather modification," Eastlund told SPACE.com.

The first experiments of a program, Eastlund emphasized, would be very small, and designed for safety. For example, a sample of air in a jet stream could be heated with a pilot experimental installation. Such experiments would utilize relatively small amounts of power, between one and ten megawatts, he pointed out.

Both ground-based and space weather diagnostic instruments could measure the effect. Computer simulations could compare these results with predicted effects. This process can be iterated until reliable information is obtained on the effects of modifying the wind.

Computer simulations of hurricanes, Eastlund continued, are designed to determine the most important wind fields in hurricane formation. Computer simulations of mesocyclones use steering wind input data to predict severe storm development.

After about 5 years of such research, and further development of weather codes, a pilot experiment to modify the steering winds of a mesocylone might be safely attempted. Such an experiment would probably require 50 to 100 megawatts, Eastlund speculated.

"I estimate this new science of weather modification will take 10 to 20 years to mature to the point where it is useful for controlling the severity and impact of severe weather systems as large as hurricanes," Eastlund explained.....

Inadvertent effects?

Another reason for embarking on this new science could be to make sure inadvertent effects of existing projects, such as the heating of the ionosphere and modifications of the polar electrojet, are not having effects on weather, Eastlund stated.

As example, Eastlund pointed to the High frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP). This is a major Arctic facility for upper atmospheric and solar-terrestrial research, being built on a Department of Defense-owned site near Gakona, Alaska.

Eastlund wonders if HAARP does, in fact, generate gravity waves. If so, can those waves in turn influence severe weather systems?

Started in 1990, the unclassified HAARP program is jointly managed by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory and the Office of Naval Research. Researchers at the site make use of a high-power ionospheric research instrument to temporarily excite a limited area of the ionosphere for scientific study, observing and measuring the excited region using a suite of devices.

The fundamental goal of research conducted at the facility is to study and understand natural phenomena occurring in the Earth’s ionosphere and near-space environment. According to the HAARP website, those scientific investigations will have major value in the design of future communication and navigation systems for both military and civilian use.

Messing with Mother Nature

Who best to have their hands on the weather control switches?

The last large hurricane modification experiments -- under Project Stormfury -- were carried out by the U.S. Air Force, Eastlund said. "It is likely the Department of Defense would be the lead agency in any new efforts in severe storm modification."

Additionally, federal laboratories with their extensive computational modeling skills would also play a lead role in the development of a science of weather modification. NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) would find their respective niches too. The satellite diagnostic capabilities in those agencies would play a strong role, Eastlund suggested.

It appears that only modest amounts of government dollars have been spent on weather modification over the last five years.

"Hurricane Katrina could cost $300 billion by itself," Eastlund said. "In my opinion, it is time for a serious scientific effort in weather modification."

"Global warming appears to be a reality, and records could continue to fall in the hurricane severity sweepstakes," Eastlund said. "When I first suggested the use of space-based assets for the prevention of tornadoes, many people expressed their displeasure with ‘messing with Mother Nature’. I still remember hiding in the closet of our house in Houston as a tornado passed overhead. It is time for serious, controlled research, with the emphasis on safety, for the good of mankind," he concluded. END

This really pisses me off. For the record.

Hey? Everyone still on the trail of truth? Welcome newcomers!


Good to see you feeling so much at home in our friendly forum, BC.
I take it, then, that your answer to the question I asked, namely:

Do you welcome people to your local shopping plaza?

[Boomer Chick]

Interesting article, FS. So you're pissed about experimentation at this time? Yeah, it seems they're fooling with Mother Nature just too damn much.

But WHAT IF.....WHAT IF in the future all the experimentation pays off and they discover how to clean up the ozone, how to get rid of extra CO2, and how to rebalance energy systems?

IT seems earth sciences present the proverbial double sword scenarios.

Disclosure and transparency would help greatly in terms of the national and international science community. If the public knew the positive aspects of the sciences...we might be more inclined to support it financially as well.

To keep this science shrouded in secrecy and used as weaponry, which we do not know based on evidence..... only conjecture...would be to increase the probabilities that it will be used improperly with time and money wasted on destructive aims rather than weather enhancing and constuctive goals.

Sad..... but it seems we're beginning to increase awareness and thus the political power and force to bring the issue into public awareness and political venues which through funding control the projects.

Of course I think newcomers would feel comfortable here and I notice they do.

Reynolds represents the "skeptic," the opposite view, and as long as I've been here, I've witnessed more rudeness from your keyboard than his.

Beware of demonizing anyone in your world. Not a wise practice. Bad karma and simply generates a low level of vibration.

[halva]

BC, the 'two sides' of the climate change debate are the 'chemmie' side and the professional climate science side.

The hybrid 'anti-chemmie'/climate change 'sceptic' 'side' personified by Reynolds is not part of the debate. It is a manufactured construct of the power elite designed for the purpose of confusing BOTH sides of the climate change debate. It is parasitical. It has to be killed or it will kill us. This is literally true.

Even at the level of appearance I am not more rude than Raynolds. Nothing I have posted can compare with his threat to have us arrested, sent to Guantanamo or whatever.

But even if I were, did Karl Marx not say that if essence corresponded to appearance there would be no need for science.

[jayreynolds]

Nothing I have posted can compare with his threat to have us arrested, sent to Guantanamo or whatever. .

Again you try to misconstrue my promise, Wayne, and of course you won't produce a quote in full where I said any such thing. Most of us remember how you shamelessly removed words from my statement to make it appear otherwise.

My statement, which is a solemn promise, is that should a terrorist incident be provoked as a result of promotion of the chemtrails hoax, I will seek prosecution of those I see as being responsible. Your people have been warned of this for years now, and those I hold accountable have received direct correspondence from me to that effect. I have published this many times before. Of course, it is up to agrand jury whether you will be arrested, and a trial by jury to find gult or innocence.

See, there is a big difference, people. You have been warned, you can choose the path that you will take. You have freedom of choice in the matter, and the end result still alows you to defend yourself under oath in a court of law, and a jury of your peers.

and, of course, you will and should be held responsible for your own actions, right?
Or do some of you plan some sort of insanity defense?

Jimbo, at this point you might consider such a course. Much of the groundwork has been laid, and it might just keep you out of the electric chair.....

halva is absolutely correct.

It is particularly crucial that the sentence in red be emphasized and understood. Special attention needs to be paid to the fact that it is indeed BOTH SIDES of the debate (sic) which are being negatively affected by the machinations of the Reynolds Contingent.

[Insurrectionchemistry]

The "Global Shield Project" would not be possible without the willing contributions of both the oil refinery processes and the updates in jet engine turbine designs.

Jay Reynolds is the cover up artist for both, and always acts to attempt to keep the public from discoving that there is much collaboration in changing the impact of jet plane emissions on global warming.

For Jay Reynolds there are close associations with both GE turbines and Hess Oil.

Jay Reynolds is nothing but one of the GOP crooks, who like the Bush Neo-Cons, tell big lies to the public to sustain their political gains.


Jay Reynolds is one who can't tell the truth on global warming being driven by the UV-b factor damaging the Ocean's clould shielding systems. This was the principle effect upsetting the oceans to produce the "El Nino" effects, and the same effect causing the hurricanes to become more frequent and severe.

The Global Shield Project was designed to be global and this was done by making the Project intrinsic to jet plane design and their fuel systems. And the changes carefully hidden so as not to set off the public accountabilty processes or environmentalists.


Jay Reynolds and his former little Hess Island were also home to some of the ORNL "Sea Wolf" trials for silent running stealth submarines. ORNL was the source for "Project Global Shield." There is no doubt that Jay Reynolds is the willing shill for all three, exceptionally so since he is from Big Oil's Dallas and home of the Bush GOP politics of lies.

Weather...or Not?
Tsunami's, earthquakes, mudslides, floods, weeks of rain....the question on everyone's mind is: what's with the weather? Global Warming? That's not nearly an interesting enough explanation as to why the world feels as though we are experiencing catastrophes of biblical proportions. God, spies, terrorists, scientists, unscrupulous governments and probably even aliens have all been blamed for a feeling that the world is coming to an end. In this hour we'll explore some of the wilder, though sometimes plausible theories about what's causing this outrageous weather. From Yakuza weather-terrorists to Government conspiracies, to the apocalypse, meet the people behind some of the most interesting theories and explore how outrageous, or implausible--or even downright believable--their ideas are.

Abstract: On 12 December 1980, a 48 kg barium payload was launched from the A- 15 site of the Eglin/Santa Rosa Island Test Range. The barium was released in the F sub 1-region of the ionosphere at an altitude of 182.7 km. Approximately 32 minutes later a second rocket was launched, carrying plasma diagnostics complement which included a pair of pulsed-plasma-probes and an ion mass spectrometer for direct measurements of electron density Ne, temperature Te, density fluctuations sigma Ne, associated density fluctuation power spectra Pn(k), and ion composition Mi. The barium release and all associated measurements have been designated by code name JAN. This report presents quick- look field analyses of pulsed-plasma-probe data. A brief description is given on the probe instrumentation, vehicle/payload performance, and 'in situ' observations of barium cloud plasma densities and structure.

Abstract: Presented is a possible mechanism for the freezing, or apparent freezing of barium cloud striations and for the formation of long thin sheets of barium on the leading edge of the cloud. The essence of the model is that the finite Pedersen mobility of the barium ions allows them to separate from the electron cloud. The barium is replaced in the electron cloud by the ions constituting the ambient ionosphere, which are compressed up to the required densities by their own Pedersen mobility. In the process of existing the electron cloud, the barium is expanded and hence attains a density lower than when it coexisted with the electron cloud. For many ionospheric parameters the barium will have in effect left the region of further structuring, which will still be proceeding the electron cloud. As the barium leaves the cloud, it forms a long thin sheet of lower density barium, one side of which is considerably steeper than the other, which extends from the leading (nonstructuring) edge of the cloud. An observer watching only the barium would conclude that the cloud had frozen. Further, the electron cloud itself may decay if the ions coexisting with it are subject to a fast recombination chemistry.

Abstract: A 48 kg barium payload was launched from Eglin Air Force Base, Florida on 12 December 1980 at 2311 GMT and detonated at 183.7 km. At 2342:50.25 GMT, a second rocket, instrumented with an ion mass spectrometer and pulsed plasma probes, was fired to traverse the barium cloud. Composition, ion density, and structure measurements were acquired up to 241.2 km in both the natural and disturbed ionosphere. The rocket penetrated the barium cloud between 147 and 184 km. In addition to the Ba+, Ba++ produced by H Lyman alpha ionization, and Ca+, an impurity in the barium were detected in the cloud. A peak barium ion concentration of about 6,000,000 ions cu cm was measured at 161 km where the ionospheric NO+ and O2+ ions were essentially eliminated by large recombination loss. The bottom side of the barium cloud had a relatively smooth structure while the top side showed significant density fluctuations. The first experimental evidence of a theoretically predicted E region 'image cloud' was found in the form of an enhanced NO+ layer just below the barium cloud. Unexplained wave-like density variations in O+, NO+, and O2(+) also were seen above the barium cloud to 195 km. A quantitative estimate of the outgassing water vapor concentrations near the payload's surface was made using the fast change transfer rate coefficient for O+ + H2O yields H2O+ + O that created the observed water vapor ions.

Abstract: In conjunction with the DNA barium releases, Avefria I and II, an experiment was undertaken to determine if radio communication was possible off the base of a striated plasma created by these barium releases. A transmitting station was set up to broadcast a steady signal at two HF frequencies toward the base of the barium striations and two receiving stations listened for signal returns on the two frequencies. (The chosen geometry prevented reflections off the sides of the barium cloud from affecting the experiment). One station heard substantial returns while the other heard nothing. Data from the first station provide an estimate of the reflection cross sections for the base of the striated barium cloud. The negative result from the second station arises partly from limited sensitivity of equipment but the upper limit on cross section was less than that seen from the first station. This suggests a directional character for the signal reflected from the base of the cloud.

Abstract: We show that under realistic ionospheric conditions, barium ion clouds hundreds of meters in diameter can be long-lived, quasi-stable, nonbifurcating structures. These structures may resemble 'tadpoles,' with a dense head, steep density gradients at the front, and a long, less dense tail. We assume that these structures are the final products of the recursive bifurcation of a considerably larger barium ion cloud, i.e., striations. The realistic ionospheric conditions to which we refer consist of a barium ion cloud with ion temperatures Ti of approximately 1000 K, coupled electrically to a background ionosphere of lower compressibility than itself, i.e., and F region. We show analytically that this combination of finite Ti and relatively incompressible background results in an effective diffusion of barium plasma, but more importantly, of total magnetic-field-line-integrated Pedersen conductivity. The diffusion coefficient has a special form which allows the inner portions of the cloud to diffuse slowly, giving the cloud a long lifetime, and allows the outer, less dense portions of the cloud to diffuse rapidly, preventing cloud bifurcation. Numerical simulations of the full nonlinear dynamics are then used to show that this diffusion does in fact give rise to quasi-stable barium striations hundreds of meters in diameter. These findings are consistent with the linear analysis of Francis and Perkins (1975). (Author)

Abstract: Lead barium titanate powder with 0.03-0.15 micron particle sizes was prepared from lead barium titanyl oxalate which was previously prepared by reacting high-purity ammonium titanyl oxalate with barium and lead acetate. The critical factor in preparing the barium titanyl oxalate was the reaction time. It was necessary to allow 2-4 h to synthesize the oxalate to get a single-phase barium titanate. The critical factors in preparing the lead titanyl oxalate were pH and the concentration of the solution. It was necessary to adjust the pH to around 0.5 and the concentration to < 0.08 M. When lead barium titanyl oxalate is prepared, low pH, low concentration, and a long reaction time are necessary.

Abstract: In an effort to investigate the mechanism causing ionospheric irregularities to form in the equatorial region an experiment was designed by the Max Planck Institute involving the release of two barium clouds in the F region just after sunset. The electric field resulting from the two barium clouds was expected to trigger an ionospheric irregularity which would propagate up through the ionosphere as a depletion bubble. This report describes an attempt to observe the ionospheric irregularity as it passed through the line- of-sight between an aircraft and a communication satellite. The aircraft was equipped with a UHF receiver which measured phase and amplitude of the downlink Satellite Signal. Due to the release of the barium 50 km below the planned altitude no significant ionospheric irregularities were formed. The aircraft measured minor amplitude variation (1dB) and no significant phase variations resulting from ionospheric irregularities triggered by the barium release. (Author)

Abstract:

The Defense Department and NASA have joined in a program to study the space environment which surrounds the earth and the effects of space radiation on modern satellite electronic systems. The Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite (CRRES) will carry an array of active experiments including chemical releases and a complement of sophisticated scientific instruments to accomplish these objectives. Other chemical release active experiments will be performed with sub-orbital rocket probes. The chemical releases will 'paint' the magnetic and electric fields of earthspace with clouds of glowing ions. Earthspace will be a laboratory, and the releases will be studied with an extensive network of ground-, aircraft-, and satellite-based diagnostic instruments. Some of the topics discussed include the following: the effects of earthspace; the need for active experiments; types of chemical releases; the CRRES program schedule; international support and coordinated studies; photographing chemical releases; information on locating chemical releases for observation by the amateur; and CRRES as a program.

Scientists study how to steer storms
Weather modification research gains attention after Katrina and Rita
www.dallasnews.com/shared...d9e21.html

By MIKE GOLDFEIN / The Dallas Morning News

BOSTON – The idea has all the potential for a techie remake of The Poseidon Adventure.

Picture a tugboat straining to tow a huge barge into the teeth of an angry hurricane like Katrina. Bolted down to the barge are 20 jet engines, nozzles aimed toward the heavens. The B-movie-like script calls for these little-engines-that-could to fire up and blow away the storm – or at least weaken it.

Of course, it's equally possible that the barge would sink to the bottom of the ocean, mission unaccomplished, after being swamped by 50-foot seas.

That possibility hasn't deterred Massachusetts Institute of Technology research scientist Moshe Alamaro, who has sketched such a hurricane disruption technique in a scientific paper.

"I think that from the engineering point of view, we can easily do that today," Mr. Alamaro said as he showed computer graphics simulating the engine-laden barge. "It's just a fantastic problem, very interesting, and I think we can have an impact."

Dismissing Mr. Alamaro's scheme as little more than the laboratory musings of a utopian scientist might be easy. But it turns out he is not alone. And after the billions of dollars in damage, lost lives and shattered communities along the Gulf Coast left in the wake of Katrina and Rita, the research has gained new attention.

Researchers examining weather modification techniques to thwart hurricanes and tornadoes, dispel fog and create rain received a boost last week when a Senate committee approved legislation by Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison to provide $90 million for research and development.

"It is critical that we determine if weather can be modified to the extent that lives are saved and property damage is limited," the Texas Republican said. "This work is vital, especially as we near the end of such a devastating hurricane season."

Into the storm

Weather disruption research holds promise, some say.

"Indeed small changes do have large effects on weather systems," said Dr. Ross Hoffman, a principal scientist at Atmospheric & Environmental Research, a weather technology company in Lexington, Mass.

Dr. Hoffman has become something of a rock star in the relatively buttoned-down world of atmospheric science.

Armed with a $575,000 grant from NASA, he successfully trumped two hurricanes – albeit in computer simulations. Dr. Hoffman discovered that hurricanes are surprisingly delicate and, while they appear to behave haphazardly, are actually governed by rules.

By making tiny artificial changes in temperature, he was able to force Hurricane Iniki, which hit the Hawaiian island of Kauai in 1992, to veer 60 miles offcourse, missing land entirely. A similar change caused Hurricane Andrew, which crushed southern Florida that same year, to weaken from a Category 3 to a Category 1.

"It was tenths of a degree over a very large area," Dr. Hoffman said. "Some day," he added, "we're going to find that 'Oh, my goodness, we actually have the ability to control the weather on a large scale.' "

Dr. Hoffman doesn't suggest that the jump from computer to reality will be easy. He hypothesizes that it might require something like a constellation of satellites capable of beaming down vast quantities of solar heat to do the trick.

'We just don't know'

Trying to tame hurricanes isn't a new idea.

The federal government ran Project Stormfury from 1962 to 1983 attempting to discover a way to modify the massive storms. Scientists sprayed silver iodide into four hurricanes, theorizing that this cloud-seeding technique would drain their energy.

The results were initially encouraging, as wind speeds temporarily dropped 15 to 30 percent. Only later, however, did they realize the flaw in the study. "It turned out the hurricane was going to do that anyhow," said Dr. Hugh Willoughby, a professor at Florida International University, and a one-time Project Stormfury scientist.

"We started looking at unmodified hurricanes and found that they weakened through the same process," said Dr. Willoughby, who went on to become director of hurricane research for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Dr. Willoughby now calls hurricane modification "the alien abductions of meteorology" and says he remains unconvinced that mere mortals can defeat a 300 mile-wide storm that has the energy of "a big nuclear warhead going off every half hour or so."

Still, he added, "Maybe there is some clever thing we could do, but we don't know what it is."

In Jupiter, Fla., Peter Cordani is convinced he has an answer.

Mr. Cordani, a private businessman with no formal scientific training, is spending millions of his own money to beat back hurricanes.

His company, Dyn-O-Mat, manufactures water-absorbent products such as garage floor mats. Mr. Cordani speculates that the polymer powder used in those mats could be sprayed into hurricanes, sapping their strength.

"I think it is going to suck the moisture out just like we claim it will," he said.

The fine white powder swells into a thick gooey substance when it gets wet. Sprayed from a few dozen tankers, Mr. Cordani dreams the substance will cut a wedge from a hurricane's eyewall by raining tons of water-logged polymer goop into the ocean. He adds the substance is environmentally friendly, since it dissolves upon contact with salt water.

Though the mainstream weather research community has largely dismissed Mr. Cordani, he's in the process of organizing a group of as yet unnamed universities and scientists to conduct formal studies with his powder.

"Someone has got to do something," he said when asked why he's spending his own money to prove an untested theory.

"

BC: A "model" means they used the previous information from probably a barium cloud study in the ionesphere. It doesn't specify what level of the atmosphere, but it refers to an actual experiment which after reading all the articles tells me it is a communications and identification "modeling" which is on the computer as you know. This company wants to contract with the defense communications and tracking facilities. I see nothing sinister about this.

Abstract: On 12 December 1980, a 48 kg barium payload was launched from the A- 15 site of the Eglin/Santa Rosa Island Test Range. The barium was released in the F sub 1-region of the ionosphere at an altitude of 182.7 km. Approximately 32 minutes later a second rocket was launched, carrying plasma diagnostics complement which included a pair of pulsed-plasma-probes and an ion mass spectrometer for direct measurements of electron density Ne, temperature Te, density fluctuations sigma Ne, associated density fluctuation power spectra Pn(k), and ion composition Mi. The barium release and all associated measurements have been designated by code name JAN. This report presents quick- look field analyses of pulsed-plasma-probe data. A brief description is given on the probe instrumentation, vehicle/payload performance, and 'in situ' observations of barium cloud plasma densities and structure.
BC: This may be one of the original experiments on which the model above was based. I'm not a scientist, but 48 kg's is not very much substance. As IS has often said, the scientific study of the atmosphere, the molecular structures and how they interact along with electro-magnetics and plasma, may in the future help us all. I'm not in favor of slowing science.... just making it transparent and based in aiding humanity not developing ways to kill us. This experiment does NOT look sinister.

BC: Well, because they're releasing various chemicals to test them in the near space and space area of the atmosphere, does that mean they're releasing poisonous gases over us and around us in the troposphere? No. I would think that testing various elements and gases in near space and space would contribute to knowledge having to do with space travel and future space-stations. I don't see how this experiment shows any indication of weather manipulation or harmful pollutants.


BC: This one is the most suspicious to me. We're talking a real barium cloud here, quite large, and in the ionesphere. I don't know what the ramifications of this are. It mentions conductivity which parallels theories of HAARP LF and ULF wave propagation.

Report Date: 24 JUL 1984
Abstract: We show that under realistic ionospheric conditions, barium ion clouds hundreds of meters in diameter can be long-lived, quasi-stable, nonbifurcating structures. These structures may resemble 'tadpoles,' with a dense head, steep density gradients at the front, and a long, less dense tail. We assume that these structures are the final products of the recursive bifurcation of a considerably larger barium ion cloud, i.e., striations. The realistic ionospheric conditions to which we refer consist of a barium ion cloud with ion temperatures Ti of approximately 1000 K, coupled electrically to a background ionosphere of lower compressibility than itself, i.e., and F region. We show analytically that this combination of finite Ti and relatively incompressible background results in an effective diffusion of barium plasma, but more importantly, of total magnetic-field-line-integrated Pedersen conductivity. The diffusion coefficient has a special form which allows the inner portions of the cloud to diffuse slowly, giving the cloud a long lifetime, and allows the outer, less dense portions of the cloud to diffuse rapidly, preventing cloud bifurcation. Numerical simulations of the full nonlinear dynamics are then used to show that this diffusion does in fact give rise to quasi-stable barium striations hundreds of meters in diameter. These findings are consistent with the linear analysis of Francis and Perkins (1975). (Author)


BC: Related to chemtrails, it wouldn't apply because all airliners and most all military flights and even the photographed grid contrails were at a much lower altitude by miles. The Ionesphere remains the highest of the layers of the atmosphere and I truly doubt the lower vehicles release barium in the so-called lingering cirrus. So, yes, it does look as though the barium has been released and clouds have been tested IN THE IONESPHERE. Again, I would connect HAARP to this.

It's pretty close to a smoking gun, but not related to "chemtrails" as much as to ionesphere experimentation possibly intersecting with HAARP which seeks to stimulate various areas of the ionesphere and heat them and bouncing signals off of the heated lenses, etc. I guess the more they discover, the better, but still, as you all have heard from me, I'm concerned about a WHOOPS! event!

***

I hope this satisfies you, WMM, as my sincere response to your request for some feedback. I do not follow anyone else on this board or am colluding with anyone else. This is how I see it, OK?

That was great research, but as far as a definitive smoking gun, you got close, IMHO.

Interesting weather manipulation article and in a mainstream Southern paper, no less! Wasn't Dyn-O-Mat one of those companies affiliated with some of the goo-in-question over some state awhile back? Yes, folks, the race is on between private and government corporations to enter into the weather modification fields. The people are screaming for hurricane and tornado mitigation! We've been screaming since the thirties about the weather!

Someone here said, don't trust the government because they create a problem and then offer you a solution.... or something like that. Well, I don't see the hurricanes as created by our government.... YET....and neither do I view tornados that way. But if they can come up with a way to BUST them or slow them down...hey, why not? I haven't found evidence that our government is capable of steering the storms yet, either, although I highly suspect it, I can't prove it. Can you?

Hello Siegmund,

Welcome, again. And thank you so much for the compliment. I just want to take every bit of information and think about it logically, you know. If someone has something to add or something to disagree with.... I would like to read it.

I'm not impressed with "Spirithelps" and WMM knows I respect him and that I'm not attempting to discredit him at all. I just want to be objective on the subject.

I know you seek to be objective and scientific, as well, and I respect that about you, too. I don't know why Halva and IS continue to force their paranoia onto you. I haven't seen any indication that you are out to debunk in a rude way or out to harrass them in any way, at least not without provocation. Rather than their embarrassment, I am embarrassed about them, but mainly IS because he's an American citizen. Halva (Wayne) is not. Then again, we have all kinds here and that's the pluralistic society we've created including the mentally ill. Hehehehe!

Thanks for your curiosity and openness!

[halva]

IS, I'm afraid that finally I deserve all the scorn that you have aimed at me on the subject of BC. I can only plead that at the time I encouraged her to come here she had gained credentials on the strength of helping to have a particularly stubborn debunker removed from Chemtrail Central. Also at that time it looked as if there was a real danger of having these threads taken over by the most primitive kind of triumphalist lout debunker, including at that time WMM, who had not then changed sides. Clearly the element in his past that for most of us makes accepting him a task requiring effort and a conscious decision to try to see the best in people for BC is precisely the element that makes him qualify for 'respect'. People with a past can always be useful, no? This is one reason that liberal capitalist societies dispense with the death penalty.

I think it would be appropriate for WMM to take a position on what I have just said. What is more important to you, BC's 'respect' or the respect of others of us here.

One thing that BC with her attitude does not reckon with at all is just how fragile, psychologically, economically, motivationally, is the position of people taking up 'chemtrails'. This is one reason I asked BC what advice she would give to the British man planning to talk to his Member of Parliament this week on the subject of chemtrails. What she suggests he should say to him or ask him. This was a question aimed at someone who always emphasises the advisability of resorting to 'the proper channels' and the 'appropriate authorities' and avoiding 'extremism'.

Finally the whole evolution of BC is a wretched, miserable story. The only antidote to it is a withdrawal of energy from this place and its transfer to one's real living environment. Something that is an option for some of us, but not, I suspect, for BC herself, whose real-life environment would consist of her family and her Democratic-Party-dominated networking. Nobody who understands the indispensability for building real alliances of mutually supporting activists could possibly behave the way this woman does: systematically cultivating the negative elements and discouraging the positive.

I apologize to everyone for bringing her here. We should have tried to make do without her. Provision of information is a facility much easier to secure in our societies than provision of a human attitude that can make people prefer being alive to being dead.

Some comment from WMM please. If you are clever you will be able to say something, not merely be silent.

I had thought of contacting some Germans to deal with 'Siegmund' but after all, what the hell. Better to let these threads follow their own course rather than make them the centre of anything.

I had thought of contacting some Germans to deal with 'Siegmund' but after all, what the hell. Better to let these threads follow their own course rather than make them the centre of anything. Come on "Wayne".

Invite the German Chermtrail Guys to come here to the Promised Land.

Christian Diebel, Gabriel Stetter, Peter Platte, Werner Altnickel and even
Chris Haderer (but take care he does not believe this nice conspiracy theory).

Back to the roots. Let me teach them some English Chemical Lessons here.

Display your courage.

[halva]

Save your ironies on 'the Promised Land' for BC, who thinks it is.

The Germans you mentioned are going to come up behind you, not from out of your monitor. Watch your back.

The 'divisions' you imagine between your opponents are not going to save YOU. Haderer is a commercial journalist.

[siegmund]

Wayne, what are you afraid of?
I'll give you three days to invite them.

He doesn't do well when challenged himself, either, BTW..............

Don't hold your breath.

Ask BC to invite some of her friends, if she has any.

Ask her to invite her husband.

Don't hold your breath. .

Weak as water, aren't you, Wayne.
It would be pathetic if it wasn't so funny...............

[Boomer Chick]

Oh... the drama! Poor, poor Halva, the dramatic queen of the internet chemtrail scene, throwing himself upon the fainting couch and whipping his imagined female arch rival with a blue silk scarf waving in the breeze of his own hot breath. The pain of wounded pride sears this ego's thin veneer with illusionary pain launched in misleading false witness testimonies of pathetically hilarious content and emotional self loathing. I drink to thee oh ouzo God! Take your languishing psuedo heros and inject them with lightening bolts of wisdom and action, quelling their imaginative follies and festivities which by projecting ignorance, muddy their own waters.


I have been open.... am open. I do the thinking work and yet because I tell the truth, am committed to the truth, I become the enemy of the self -proclaimed true and blue "chemmies" on this board? Might I dare say their names? Halva and IS? WMM is my friend and he is able to critically read an academic kind of review on the research he posted. He's intelligent, open, and passionate. He may get carried away in his passions at times, but you can bring him back with a whiff of rational truth. I thought the skies belonged to all of us.

FIND ME THE PROOF!!! GIVE ME THE EVIDENCE!!!!

I love drama too, but I prefer it on the stage where I can pay a ticket to enjoy it when I so choose.

FIND ME THE PROOF!!! GIVE ME THE EVIDENCE!!!!

Two years ago or thereabouts BC was righteously indignant about the anti-educational effect of chemtrail debunking on the inquiring minds of young seekers after truth who had wended their way to CTC.

To persist in that stance at Arianna's in the face of Raynolds would require more intestinal fortitude than she has at her disposal.

As simple as that.

There is a saying that those who can, do.
Those who can't, teach.
Those who can't teach, teach teachers.
Those who can't teach teachers do educational research.

There should be another saying:
Those who can't fight think that it is their calling to be referee.

It isn't.

WMM is my friend.


Is BC your friend, WMM?

Halva BC IS my Friend......and I respect her dearly........

But Do You Know what I Really Respect about her, the fact that she does not Assume without investigating her Assumptions Thoroughly and admits when she makes a mistake......

She Has Left Judgement for herself regarding these Issues.......OPEN.

And That Is The Correct and honest Approach if one does not want to deal with the MICRO-POLITICS that surrounds the issues we Discuss here.....

Halva, on one side there is Jay,Siggy and anyone else whom disagrees with us.......

On The Other is yourself and IS and to a certain degree Myself and FS......

Where Boomer Fit's is in the Middle ........Because her Mind Has Not Been made Up.....And A Judgement has not been forthcoming from her.......

She Is This Forum's Balance.......

And for you to even attempt to drive a wedge in between The Friendship BC and I share will come with Consequences.......

Consequences you do not want to Entertain........

So Please Stop This Inquisition.....

Wayne, excellent news, and bad news too.

First, the good news:
-your people now have had a chance to have their views heard, on the record, before the US congress

Now, the bad news:
-You have lost the first two rounds
-Your people, who claim to be "activists", are apparently unable to even follow the progress of a Bill which pertains directly to your concerns.
-You are obviously incapable of any actvism deeper than being in 'reactive mode", making complaints after the fact as your feared juggernaut steamrolls your people.
-This bill was considered by the committee TWO WEEKS AGO and your people had no idea about it!
-TWO WEEKS AGO a substitute bill was also adopted, and up to know, your people seem unawares of that fact:
http://commerce.senate.gov/pdf/s517sub.pdf
-A live webcast and video of the hearing is available, but your people are totally unaware of the fact:
:
http://commerce.senate.gov/hearings/witnesslist.cfm?id=1683
-Your people had a chance to offer witnesses to testify aginst the bill, but you failed to mount any effort whatsoever to do so.

YOUR PEOPLE are not "Activists", YOU ARE SHEOPLE!

According to Jim "whistleblower" Phelps, he holds all the evidence you need to show proof of "chemtrails", he claims to have invented them. According to David Stewart, he knows a man who was directly involved. According to 'Footsoldier', A.C. Griffith, Whitey, and others, further details are known.
Why aren't these people stepping forward????
Isn't it because your people know they are just another pack of liars????
================================================
Wayne, now it is far past the time your people should have answered these questions I have been asking for years:

1.Do you have a background in a technical field? If so, what is it? If not, whom do you consider to have such a background who would state the case for "chemtrails" being a case of "geoengineering"? If no one with such a background exists after five years of interest(enough time for a baccalaureate degree to be earned) why not?
2.Which resource do you depend upon for accurate, sound scientific informaton about "chemtrails"? If none can be relied upon, why not?
3.Several meetings were held this past year which were unparalleled opportunities for you to present papers or exhibits to distinguished scientists in fields relevant to "aerosol research" and "aviation emissions". I have examined the proceedings and found no evidence that such a presentation was made. Did you, or any other"chemtrail" interest person present at these conferences? If not, why not?
4. What is your personal definition of 'chemtrails"?
5. What are ordinary contrails, how are they formed, and what determines whether they persist, or not?
6. In what way are alleged "chemtrails" different from ordinary contrails?
7.What is the best scientific proof available that "chemtrails" are anything other than ordinary contrails?
8.Could you please direct our attention to a photo of an
archetypical "chemtrail", one which you would attribute to "geoengineering"?
9. halva cites William Thomas in his case for "chemtrails". William Thomas has stated the following: "the formation of condensation trails requires temperatures lower than about minus 76 F". Is that statement correct, and if not, do you personally consider Thomas an accurate source of information?
10. What is your claim about the purpose of "chemtrails, what are they for?
================================================== ===
Wayne, real activists would have found answers to these questions ages ago.
I asked them as challenges to you, but rather than step up to the challenge, you chose to skirt around the hard questions and try to get me banned for asking. You sought instead to misquote real scientists, you tried to pawn off bogus claims that ~107 tons of whatnium would change earth's climate, and perhaps worst of all you chose to run behind whackos like giacomm, whitey, Jim Phelps and the rest to promote what you know to be unsupported by any evidence whatsoever.

What a bunch of failures your people have turned out to be!

Now, that said, what you should have done is to enlist bigger and better scientists than Dr. Tom DeFelice, Dr. Joe Golden, or Dr. Michael Garstang.
What you should have done is to find an ally in real media, find an ally in Congress to speak out against "geoengineering", and have your chosen allies testify against the Bill.
Instead, your people have sat 'fiddling as Rome burns', chasing aliens, copying CD's of Carniclowns, and touting fake 'meteorologists' who post photos of ordinary contrails ripped off of airline websites!

What the HELL do you think you are doing???

Wayne, from the outset, I have done my best to lead you towards truth.
If you had followed my instructions, you would have found it.
Instead, you have chosen to walk on the dark side, and you have failed.

My conscience is clear, Wayne, I have acted in good faith to help you, not to be your enemy but to be a champion for the truth..

You need only look again into the mirror to see your worst enemy.

now, what are you going to do about that?

[halva]

We are waiting for you to do what you said, and take up the 'chemmie' case if it should prove not to be baseless, as you have been claiming all these years.

[halva]

By the way, are you going to offer some self-criticism for your previous pooh-poohing of this Bill?

[jayreynolds]

We are waiting for you to do what you said, and take up the 'chemmie' case if it should prove not to be baseless, as you have been claiming all these years.
Wayne, your case says that what most regard as ordinary contrails are actually surreptitious geoengineering via jet aircraft.

You have provided absolutely [b]no evidence whatsoever to prove that case.

The fact that a public bill exists to create a body to research weather modification adds no proof for your case. It does provide you with the means to publicize your case, if you had any proof to show, but you don't, and so you can't. .

If you want to sit and wait for me to prove your case, you will wait forever.

I have waited eight years now for you people, and am willing to wait until the last chemmie gives up.

I feel no obligation to try and prove the existince of something that does not exist, but am extremely amused watching your people fail at trying!.

[jayreynolds]

By the way, are you going to offer some self-criticism for your previous pooh-poohing of this Bill?

I merely stated the facts about the bill, Wayne.
Personally, I think that efforts to ameliorate hurricanes might be a worthwhile pursuit, having been a victim of one and having just returned from the Gulf coast areas affected. If it can be done openly, legally, and cost-effectively, I am all for it. lawyers will have a field day, no doubt.

However, I predict that your people will be opposed yet outclasssed in your opposition, having seen your record of failure thus far.

To put it bluntly, your people are all resolute failures in all endeavors, and always will be.

[Boomer Chick]

Thank you, WMM.... wishing you the best always.


Thank you, Esbe, for being you and being strict in your dedication to facts.


Frustration and fear as well an envy and other negative emotions cause those who lack a calm centeredness to personally attack others. I have to laugh at the foolishness of late on this thread.

You bet I did. And how is everything going in the world of truth, Jay? Did I tell you I appreciate you, too, since we're still in the thanks-giving weekend mood?

[halva]

From Jerry Mazza's blog:
Great blog site by Kurt Nimmo -- pronounced Nee-Mo
http://www.kurtnimmo.com/

BC, does that mean you agree with Kurt Nimmo when he says:

"If I was Iranian, I’d want my government to develop nukes..... Bush’s neocons, working for the Zionists, and now the effete EU, want us to believe Iran is working steadily toward a nuke.......
Considering the fantasies and realities of the neocon cut-out Bush, if I was Iranian I’d want my government to develop and deploy a nuke.......Of course, the neocons know better than to attack North Korea—because it is generally assumed they have a few nukes and the North Koreans have indicated they will use them if the Bushcons attack. Iran wants to do the same thing and the neocons and the Likudite Israelis know this. If Iran gets a nuke, the United States will not invade the country, as they will not invade or attack North Korea. In short, possession of a nuke will more or less guarantee the peace."

Chomsky is also on record as saying more or less this kind of thing. Do you subscribe to ideas of this calibre, BC?

[jayreynolds]

I saw that Nemo movie.
It was about fish, not nukes.

[halva]

There are a number of postings lately that BC has not answered, and this will be added to the list. She is interested in intellectual debate only when it enables her to reinforce her own preconceptions.

[Boomer Chick]

I saw that Nemo movie.
It was about fish, not nukes.

LOL! Yes, I tend to agree with Nemo on the Iranian nuke subject. Obviously Pakistan and India receive respect and cooperation and Korea hasn't been bombed. What else can you ascribe that to, besides a respect of their rataliatory capabilities? I don't like it, but it seems that countries are assured of distance of the Brit/U.S. power as long as they have a "big stick."

Did someone cut some Lindberger?

[halva]

You don't know what you're talking about and given your arrogantly flippant attitude, I don't propose to waste my time trying to discuss the issue with you.

I happen to know something about this subject, and if your utterances on the questions that Jim Phelps knows about are at this level, I understand the utter contempt he has for you.

[halva]

At any rate BC, you have confirmed what I said in earlier postings. You are of dubious value to Raynolds as an ally.

[jayreynolds]

Wayne, the bottom line is that I don't even need an "ally".
man you are so wrapped up in getting a "gang" together, you lost sight of reality.

The goal you seem to be concentrating on, getting allies, means nothing if you can't produce any evidence whatsoever for your contentions.

What good are allies for an empty claim?

And that's the bottom line..............

[halva]

Since you enjoy repetition Raynolds, I will repeat that neither can you produce evidence that you are sincere in your disbelief in the 'chemtrails' that we see with our eyes every day.

Nor can you prove that you are sincere in your failure to understand my repeated explanations that my approach centres not on the discovery of evidence but on the restoration of legality and legitimacy in government.

OK, if you want to go back to documenting and cutting and pasting rather than expressing attitudes and opinions on ideas and on people, I don't mind.

[crateris]

Allow me to throw my thoughts into this arena concerning "weather manipulation".

Now and for the forseeable future weather manipulation is and will be the province of thought excersizes and science fiction. The notion that hurricanes, for example, are directed or formed by some sort of man-made energy source ignores the basic knowledge that exists and is understood by almost anybody who takes the time to learn about it. While there may be some aspects that are not fully understood, that doesn't mean that plugging in some improbable human intervention is called for. The huge weather engine that is our sun/earth relationship can easily explain our weather intricasies and anomalies far better that Scott Steven's or Richard Hoagland's fantasies.

if you want to talk about weather manipulation talk about cloud seeding. twits

[halva]

So we have two (presumed) newcomers, one who may or may not have something to say, the other who addresses us collectively as 'twits' and should get back to the other sections of Arianna's where the retards hang out. Even Raynolds has not prevented us from keeping standards higher in this section of the forum.

[Boomer Chick]

A fascinating read, I'm sure and just one of my science readings I like to throw in now and then. I find that knowledge mixes well with theory and a strong dose of black ops, HAARP ops, and even DOD and Russian ops ---- just might go down more smoothly with some scientific knowledge. Or perhaps you would just enjoy learning more than you know at the moment. Notice that on the "abstract" pages are often listed some related articles. I find this site a great site that publishes rather mainstream scientific articles based on university studies and well-known science organization studies like NOAA and NASA.

Just a little reading to keep you on your toes.

[jayreynolds]

Interesting article, BC, showing that 2 million grams of carbon are absorbed by one hectare of trees.

here is a link to a CO2 calculator which gives results for household usage in terms of how many trees it takes to sequester a family's production.
http://www.americanforests.org/resources/ccc/index.php

For our family, it takes 80 new trees/year to sequester our production.

Our farm contains 40 acres of forest land. I estimate an average of 200 trees/acre in this mostly hardwood stand, which is almost mature, and which I harvest for various uses and cull for firewood. This yields a total of 8000 trees. Thus, our family's carbon output has been balanced for the next 100 years.

My grandfather established a pine tree farm of 300 acres about fifty years ago, and it is now jointly owned by his grandchildren. Two years ago a clearcut harvest was made, and the acreage was immediately replanted at around 700/acre. This yields a total of 210,000 trees sequestering carbon.

Considering that there are about 18 people in our extended family, our collective carbon has been sequestered for the next 145 years.

Of course, trees don't live forever, and the 210,000 trees will be replanted every fifty years, thus assuring a perpetual carbon sink for up to 32 families of the size and energy usage of my own.

How many of you can say that you are being so responsible?

I'm serious.

I'd like to know.

[Insurrectionchemistry]

Full truth, not propaganda.

Jay Reynolds job for the Hess oil refinery essentially more than exceeded his family CO-2 lifetime balance in a single day.

Jay Reynolds long term employment at Hess oil exceeded all his entire extended family lifetime CO-2 balance in a single month.

Jay Reynolds working for one of the largest of the Hess oil refineries in the world and that contribution to world CO-2 is quite large, and all these trees offsetting that effect is typical of the Jay Reynolds hoaxes.

Jay Reynolds is one of the biggest promoters of CO-2 emissions in the world, having made is living by production of CO-2 emitting fossil fuel, not to mention Jay Reynolds oil driven turbine systems power plant direct emissions of CO-2.


Jay Reynolds supported one of the largest oil refineries in the world to the tune of processing for burning millions of gallons of petroleum, or tanker after tanker load of oil, which amounts to huge numbers of CO-2 emissions. The real truth is even a state sized forest could not offset the CO-2 emissions associated with Jay Reynolds.


As Reynolds avoids truth here, so does he avoid truth on Southern Ocean effects from UV-b effects on cloud forming emissions, and jet planes massive effect on making clouds easily seen in satellite photos from NASA / NOAH, etc.

[jayreynolds]

Let the record reflect that Jim Phelps was not able to mention whether or not his own personal carbon usage has been mitigated. I can only assume that he has never planted any trees.

That's Ok, Jimbo. My grandfather took care of your share of the load for you.

[halva]

Don't expect Raynolds to see things this way.

As he sees it his responsibility to act like a human being extends only as far as his family. Everything else is factored out.

And it doesn't even extend that far. How much of the time he wastes telling lies here could be better devoted to looking after his family, and his private affairs.

Only as far as my own family?

What about your own family, Wayne?

Let the record reflect that Wayne Hall was not able to mention whether or not his own personal carbon usage has been mitigated. I can only assume that he has never planted any trees.

That's Ok, Wayne. My grandfather took care of your share of the load for you.

What is it about the Left, why do they always expect someone else to carry them like babes all their lives? Grow up.

[halva]

Raynolds you are nothing BUT hot air.

[jayreynolds]

Raynolds you are nothing BUT hot air.
Wayne, it's plain enough to anyone who reads this that you don't take personal responsibility for your own carbon usage.

You are a hypocrite.

[halva]

The first tree that I plant will be on your grave.

[jayreynolds]

Let the record show that Wayne Hall has admiited he hasn't ever planted a tree- yet.

He claims to have plans on planting one in about thirty years, when I die, if he doesn't kill himself with worry and go first!

Soldier on, Wayne. The load of your burden of lies must be horrible.

[Insurrectionchemistry]

There are those that make too much of digging little holes in the ground, when there are much better ways to mitigate the problems by dealing with the hole in the sky.


While families of functional illiterates were digging holes and making highly inflated self aggrandizing claims, others were dealing with the most significant problems.


Jim Phelps was busy at a National Lab recognizing the problems of Freon and the Ozone Hole's effects on the Southern Ocean's cloud making systems. Such work in Oak Ridge resulted in DuPont (which has long standing connections to the Manhattan Project) stopping the production of CFC's, because they got to see the bigger problem associations and well knew the liabilties as well.

Some small minds brag of dig holes in the ground and the brighter ones look at the Ozone Hole and find ways to mitigate those problems that far exceed the CO-2 issues.

The brighter one also points out how functional illiterates, like Jay Reynolds, lie about CO-2 balances, when in reality Jay Reynolds caused, rather directly, a large part of the CO-2 levels by working with one of the world's largest Hess Oil refineries.


Which proved Jay Reynolds a liar once again.

Jay Reynolds is a pathological liar.


Functional Illiterates become themes for TV shows like The Simpson's, and Jay-hey is just one of the cast of characters that everyone makes fun of. Just another village idiot.

Don't know about the obsession you have with digging holes in the ground.
How do you plant trees, Jimbo, with a wave of your SHIVA-wand?

Now, above you claim to have done work which resulted in DuPont stopping the production of CFC's.

And you expect us to just believe you?
Are you such a narcissist to think that way?

According to the criteria laid out in the "Current Events" thread, you have plenty of information that needs to come out before these claims of yours can be established as fact:


-Where is that data?.
-Qualify and Quantify these data, without handwaving.
-One needs the baseline data from which to compare.
-Show me the documents, too. .
-This is not up to science so far, it is still rather short of real forensics proof.
-Need all the loose ends covered.
-I deal in real sciences, that means details, all of them covered.
JIMBO, WHEN WILL YOU EVER LEARN THAT YOU CAN"T JUST GO AROUND MAKING UP FANTASIES AND EXPECTING PEOPLE TO BEEELLEEEEEVE?

[Insurrectionchemistry]

BTW--Thanks so much for reminding everyone that I did more to mediate the CO-2 issues than any person on the entire planet.

Mighty kind of you to remind everyone of that.

Despite that reveiling that putting your tiny little holes idea into the realm of insignificance.


I like it when you look like a goober.

[Boomer Chick]

Interesting article, BC, showing that 2 million grams of carbon are absorbed by one hectare of trees.


2.0 plus or minus 0.4 megagrams translates to 2 million grams absorbed? With a 50% covariance? Can you safely say what you're saying, Jay? 10 to the 6th grams, right?


The metric unit of mass is the kilogram. The kilogram was intended to be the mass of a cube of water one-tenth of a meter on a side. In actual practice the official standard of the kilogram is a cylindrical piece of platinum-iridium alloy kept in a secure location in France. A megagram (metric ton) is the mass of a cubic meter of water. A kilogram is about 2.2 pounds. A metric ton is about 2200 pounds.

GAWD! I hate using the math part of my brain lately. OK, from the information below, could we translate it into CO2 absorption of 1.6 megagrams = 2200 pounds + 1320 pounds = 3520 pounds absorbed per hectare per year.

And the net was 2 tons!

Net uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) measured by eddy covariance in a 60- to 80-year-old forest averaged 2.0 ± 0.4 megagrams of carbon per hectare per year during 1993 to 2000, with interannual variations exceeding 50%. Biometry indicated storage of 1.6 ± 0.4 megagrams of carbon per hectare per year over 8 years, 60% in live biomass and the balance in coarse woody debris and soils, confirming eddy-covariance results. Weather and seasonal climate (e.g., variations in growing-season length or cloudiness) regulated seasonal and interannual fluctuations of carbon uptake. Legacies of prior disturbance and management, especially stand age and composition, controlled carbon uptake on the decadal time scale, implying that eastern forests could be managed for sequestration of carbon.

So what fuel do you use in your tractor? What kind of car do you drive and what kind of gasoline do you use and what kind of mileage do you get? Do you burn wood fires in your fireplace? Do you burn any trash during the year? Do you burn any natural gas to aid the heating of your home?


My grandfather established a pine tree farm of 300 acres about fifty years ago, and it is now jointly owned by his grandchildren. Two years ago a clearcut harvest was made, and the acreage was immediately replanted at around 700/acre. This yields a total of 210,000 trees sequestering carbon.

How many of you can say that you are being so responsible?

I'm serious.

I'd like to know.

Have you determined the carbon creation of each member of your family? We only have five acres of ponderosa pine and four to five stands of young diciduous trees -aspens and poplars. On our five acres are at least eight large stands of young ponderosas... we call them our nurseries. We've only planted four young trees, but plan to plant more. As it is, the population of trees on the lot is too profuse now. It is a fairly young forest of new growth trees from the 1930s when it was logged. And as I said, the young trees may exceed the older trees in population. However, the forest floor is not as wet or deep in peat as an Eastern or even mid-continental forest floors, so the CO2 absorption into the soil itself would be less. We burn wood fires in our stove in the winter and we commute to town in a low emissions car, but the mileage isn't that great. We do use our natural gas heater now and then, but not when we burn wood. I can't stop my husband from burning wood.... he insists upon it and enjoys it. No amount of educating him on the "carbon footprint" makes a dent or concerns him whatsoever. Our electricity comes from a varied energy profile including wind and biomass.

I'm not impressed with our carbon footprint. My dream is to be off the grid using solar for electricity to warm water, pump our well, and light our lights and power some appliances. So far we are taking our time. But I'm getting tired of doing nothing here when incentives are beginning accrue for the residential home owner.

[Boomer Chick]

Jay, BTW, definately cool and quite user-friendly calculator on our carbon footprints! We only burn one cord of wood per winter, so as far as the wood-burning, we have it easily covered with our nurseries! I'm talking hundreds of small, young, trees!

[Boomer Chick]

Here's an interesting test for everyone who's been here for any length of time:

It's the key or the answer copy of the test. I could have excluded the answers and made you answer them, but I would be sooooooooooooo into my teacher role I thought I'd spare you! Notice the date! I expect every one of you would have received an A. I don't know if I would have, though, without brushing up a bit first.

WARNING: my computer does not translate or this program at Arianna's does not translate the 10 to the X power numbers. It comes out 106 as 10 to the 6th power. OK? So go to the original at the link for the non-confusing numerals and factors.

NAME _________________________


EPOB 3180 EXAM 1
Feb. 22, 2000

Directions: Answer each of the following 15 questions as fully as possible in the spaces below. You may include diagrams if you wish. You may continue on additional paper if you need more space.



1. Why is CO2 called a greenhouse gases, and how does it act to warm the earth?
CO2 in the atmosphere absorbs some of the outgoing infrared (IR; long-wave) radiation coming from the Earth's surface, then re-radiates some of this energy back to the Earth. In this way it traps some heat in the atmosphere, similar to the glass roof of a greenhouse.2. How would positive and negative feedbacks affect global warming? Give one possible example of each.
A positive feedback to global warming - a process stimulated by warming, that would cause further warming

A negative feedback to global warming - a process stimulated by warming, that would reduce the amount of warming. [Many possible examples.]
3. Describe the movement of air in the two Hadley cells (that meet along the Intertropical Convergence Zone). What drives the Hadley cells?
Air rises near the ITCZ (near equator), then moves away from the equator at high altitude, then descends at about 30N and 30S, then travels along surface back to ITCZ (see diagram on p107 in text). The circulation of the Hadley cells is driven by solar radiation near the ITCZ, which heats air and evaporates water; the heated air then rises.4. Describe the location and direction of these major surface winds: 1) trade winds, 2) westerlies, and 3) polar easterlies.
a) Tradewinds occur in the tropics, and blow from the NE in the N hemisphere and from the SE in the S hemisphere.

b) Westerlies occur at mid latitudes (30-60 N&S), and blow primarily from west to east.
c) Polar easterlies occur at high latitudes (60-90 N&S), and blow primarily from east to west.
5. Describe the global, "conveyor-belt" thermohaline circulation of the oceans. What drives this circulation?
The thermohaline circulation exchanges water between the deep ocean and the surface, like a giant conveyor belt. Water from the surface descends to near the ocean bottom in the N. Atlantic, then flows south through the S. Atlantic, east around Africa and Asia, north in the Pacific, then rises to the surface in the N. Pacific. A slow shallow current returns by much the same route. The thermohaline circulation is driven by differences in the density of water masses, due to differences in temperature and salinity; in the N. Atlantic surface water is cooled by the air and made more saline by the formation of ice.6. Why do so many deserts occur at about 30 N and 30 S latitude?
Here the descending legs of the Hadley cells bring warm dry air, resulting in a region of low precipitation.7. How does an El Nino event affect a) trade winds in the Pacific and b) the ocean off Peru?
a) Trade winds in the tropical Pacific weaken; this initiates and El Nino event.

b) Trade winds along the coast of Peru normally cause an off-shore current which results in the upwelling of nutrient rich water. In an El Nino event, this upwelling stops, the water warms, there are less nutrients for phytoplankton, and the fishery collapses.
8. How does actual evapotranspiration differ from potential evapotranspiration? How does the ratio of AET to PET compare between rainforest, grassland, and desert?
AET is the actual amount of water evaporated from the soil surface and transpired by plants.

PET is the amount that WOULD be evaporated and transpired if unlimited water was available.
AET/PET in a rainforest is high; about 1
AET/PET in a grassland is less; around 1/2
AET/PET in a desert is very low; often close to zero; there is little water available and the high solar radiation provides the energy for a high evaporative demand.
9. What are the major fluxes (including anthropogenic fluxes) to and from the atmosphere in the global carbon cycle? What are the magnitudes of these fluxes?
[See diagram in lecture 6 handout, last page]

The atmosphere and oceans exchange approximately 90 Gt C/yr
The atmosphere and terrestrial biosphere (plants and soils) exchange approximately 110-120 Gt C/yr
In addition to these large natural fluxes, human activities of fossil fuel burning (5.5-6 Gt C/yr) and tropical deforestation (1-2 Gt C/yr; often given as 1.6) release significant amounts of carbon to the atmosphere.
10. Atmospheric CO2 is increasing, but not at the rate of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. What processes likely account for this difference?
[See table in lecture 6 outline, last page.]

Ocean uptake removes about 2 Gt C/yr from the atmosphere.
Terrestrial processes likely remove about 2 Gt C/yr from the atmosphere, through the processes of northern temperate forest regrowth, CO2 fertilization, nitrogen fertilization, and climate effects. [Because the partitioning between these four processes is poorly quantified, this terrestrial sink for atmospheric carbon has been called the "missing sink".]
11. How are the processes of ammonification, nitrification, and assimilation linked within a terrestrial ecosystem? What kinds of organisms perform these steps?
[See diagram in lecture 7 handout]

ammonification - conversion of organic nitrogen to ammonia (NH3); done by all organisms during metabolism, and by bacteria that decompose other organisms
nitrification - conversion of ammonia (NH3) to nitrate (NO3-); done by certain bacteria in soil
assimilation - the uptake of nitrate (NO3-) by plants
These three process form a cycle through which most of the nitrogen in terrestrial ecosystems passes.
12. What three human activities have added the most fixed nitrogen to terrestrial ecosystems? What are the global magnitudes of these fluxes? With so much N2 in the atmosphere, why is fixed nitrogen important?
Industrial production of fertilizers - 80 Tg N/yr

Burning fossil fuels - 20 Tg N/yr
Cultivating N-fixing crops (esp. legumes and rice) - 40 Tg N/yr
The N2 in the atmosphere is unavailable to most organisms; fixed nitrogen (in compounds such as ammonia and nitrate) is often the limiting nutrient for plant growth in terrestrial ecosystems. [Note: several other human activities, including biomass burning, draining wetlands and land clearing, mobilize nitrogen that is already present in terrestrial ecosystems.]


13. How many teragrams are there in a gigaton? How many megagrams are there in a ton?



(Recall that mega =106; giga = 109; tera = 1012; one ton = 106 grams)
one teragram = 1012 grams

one gigaton = 109 tons, or 1015 grams
1015 is 1000 times bigger than 1012
therefore there are 1000 teragrams in a gigaton one megagram = 106 grams
one ton = 106 grams
therefore one megagram equals one ton


14. What is meant by CO2 fertilization? What factors may limit the magnitude of CO2 fertilization of plant growth in terrestrial ecosystems?
CO2 fertilization = increasing plant growth by having more CO2 in the air around a plant

This occurs when CO2 is a limiting nutrient for plant growth. However, in many terrestrial ecosystems, plant growth is limited by the supply of other nutrients, such as nitrogen or phosphorus. Thus CO2 fertilization is expected to have only small effects in most terrestrial ecosystems.
15. How does dimethylsulfide (DMS) produced by marine algae help to cool the Earth?
DMS enters the troposphere as a gas, then is oxidized to sulfate (SO42-). Sulfate molecules group into aerosol particles, then seed the formation of clouds. Both sulfate particles and clouds reflect some of the incoming short-wave solar radiation, thus helping to cool the Earth.http://www.colorado.edu/epob/epob3180bolton/Ex1key.html

Then start explaining..........

WMM

It's not that explaining need be done. One just has to peel the onion with Occams's razor to see that the first shards to fall are those that are the most improbable. What's more likely, a particle-beam machination or an interaction between the atmosphere and the ocean? What is the most likely explanation of contrails? A nefarious plot to (add your favorite anti-whatever evil substance for whatever reason) or the simple interaction of jet (and sometimes I/C engine) exhaust with the atmosphere?

As far a cloud seedings, that hardly counts as com
